Why dont you limit how much guest can view?

Make it so that they can only see the lounge, polls, funny stuff and the drawing room, and board related stuff and limit "worlds"

Why don't we pay more attention to the exiting members ? I miss the posts from some of the senior members. Were not a pay for view forum , we 're a filesharing forum ! I have noticed a lot of new members contibution , some very smart people . Its fun to read this forum again. I love the work the mods have done to the front page with the news section . Its baby steps were taking ,change can be good . But just my opnion.

what good would come from hiding pages from guests and google?

None so it will stay as is...

Does the forum now charge for new membership

Can't think of any other reason to make people join. It should be the quality of the forum that gets you to join.

It bothers me when I am trying to solve a problem and google for an answer only to find I have to join the forum before finding out if the people can actually help.

If I know the forum is useful (by seeing a solution that works) then I join so I can interact in the discussion.

Thanks for that definitive word. Mr newbie mod.

Muchspl has a valid point, what would be the harm in turning guest viewing off occaionally. Perhaps one day a week would be good.

It might increase sign-ups on that day and on the others Google can index to it's heart's content. If it doesn't work, then we've lost nothing.

I don't want to permanently hide the forum from guests and Google but a compromise could yield benefits yet has no drawbacks.

Why the forums should be hidden from quests?
So they'd register?

I guess.

I think Muchspl may have a slightly different agenda but my own is simply to encourage more people to join.

We all agree that it is better this way.

No we don't.

I've just stated to the contrary.


Or are you trying to say that member's opinions don't count.
