:fear: we're being watched :fear:

Ive seen over 100 Guests at times...

IMO, everything should be visible to the guest. Whether they're looking for a guide, tutorial, etc., they shouldn't have to register to look at it. If you make them register, then they register with mailinator real quick and come look at the guide and never seen again. If someone really likes what they see, then maybe they'll get a laugh at a thread er something and become a member. I don't think I've ever joined a forum where I couldn't see any of the threads beforehand. That's how you get them interested and registering is by letting them see what FST has to offer, and then they'll want to contribute to a topic or submit guides of their own or get in on a conversation in the Drawing Room. If someone is linked to the forum and it states that they must register to even see the rooms, threads, etc., I don't think they'll even bother. I wouldn't. I guess I just don't see the harm.

Whats the point in registering??...
They(Guests) see something they like or something that helped them, they usually bookmark the site & or page...
Then next time they need help or something, they come back.. Either way it generates traffic to the site and possible referrals to potential new members..
Whats the big deal with registering??
Just MO but
