It feels rather dead at the moment...

[RealitY]

Well Guests seem high perhaps some of them will register.
Dont remember seeing that many Guset in a while...

[cpt_azad]

still pretty slow me thinks

Its the bittorrent section that is making all the guest traffic ;)

[manker]

Its the bittorrent section that is making all the guest traffic ;)It certainly seems that way.

82 guests at the moment altho' only 10 of those are viewing the 'torrentbits gone??' thread ... Maybe they can't find the Bittorrent section.

Perhaps the subsections to the generic File Sharing discussion should be linked on the main page, like we have for the Post a Poll section.

Thought of that myself, but there is a limit of characters you can use in the forum description and for those links you need to use HTML and that uses allot of characters.

Currently there ar 121 Users online. Looks like google is finnally starting to help out :)

[RealitY]

Perhaps some of the KL++ redirects is kicking in also. Ide estimate the dl in the thousands now as its still getting grabs. Perhaps its time to open a Guest area again where they can post in between Everything related to this board Guides and Tutorials...

[RealitY]

Ya its seems the TB issue is getting traffic...

I think its deffinatly time to open a Guest area for sure and generate some more traffic for awhile. We can close it again later as most sites do when traffic picks up, but now is the time to to do it...

There is no need for a guest section.

If we add a guest section there will only be threads created about stuff they should ask/post in the correct section (movies/software etc..). what use does it have if we keep replying wrong section blablabla... check this or that section.

If people have questions and wanna post them, they need to register.

I just checked the logs: more guests viewing doesnt mean more people register. Since we changed software there hasnt been an increase of new members, its almost the same every week.

If people have questions and wanna post them, they need to register.
Thing is, if they're all looking for the answer to the same question, they're free to just look in the relevant topic and then never come back.

You should be really cruel and make the filesharing & guide sections invisible to guests. :devil:

[jetje]

the past 24 hours the net has 100.000 orphans on the net lookin for a new place to stay :\

Altough it's nice to see people lurkin here, i'd rather have that site back up again....

[RealitY]

Well if they just lurk its worse for the site, perhaps close view for Guest and open and area where they can post, although I say leave it open and make an are for them to post also, after all if they can post for a bit they will keep coming back and if it dont work then just close it. Point is I see more Guest and why not encourage them to join in a Guest area.

As for those that say no whats the worst thing this will do ffs, try something ffs...

[Rick Phlegm]

Exactly. You need some sort of hook so that these people get a feel for the place and want to sign up.

[Samurai]

:crying: shit! i though this said board pussy. my bad :whistling

[muchspl2]

I don't like the idea of guest viewing guides.

[{I}{K}{E}]

I don't like the idea of guest viewing guides.

currently they can...

If I could make it so that the forum link is shown but it says you need to register instead of 'there has been no post newer then 2 months' or something like that.

I'm also looking for a way to hide avatars/signatures for guests.

[Rick Phlegm]

Ideally as much information should be hidden from guests as possible, giving them a reason to join. Currently, they can just look at the information they need and disappear.

Also, if you do end up hiding the guides forum, make it obvious that the information is only hidden to guests and not absent completely (some people might actually be stupid enough to think the forum's just empty).

Thats why I wanna find out how to make some sections hidden and add a notice that they need to register to view it.

Is it possible to make it so that they they can view the thread titles in the forum but not actually access the threads themselves?

there is no standard option to do this....

[RealitY]

A Guest Area with a pinned topic could do all that...
:rolleyes: :rolleyes:

/me is now being a pain in the arse.
