    We have it right atm, everything is open except the verifieds.
    That's why I marked something else. Also guides should be hidden.

    Actually I say the filsharing sections should be closed (just allow guests to see topic titles). It may have an answer to a question and they must register to see it.

    Certain sections must stay open though. How else would we attract new posters if they don't know what the forum is like?

    things are quiet until hitler decides he'd like to invade russia
    so, he does
    the russians are like "OMG WTF D00DZ, STOP TKING"
    and the germans are still like "omg ph34r n00bz"
    the russians fall back, all the way to moscow
    and then they all begin h4xing, which brings on the russian winter
    the germans are like "wtf, h4x"

    Open to read; what right have we to spare a lurker the benefit of our collective wisdom/stupidity?

    It is what it is, more or less.

    I don't think guests should be allowed to see anything. At all.

    We should hunt them down and gouge out their eyes. Which will, of course, be returned to them should they then join the forum.

    Some merit to your argument, 'cheese.

    Open for a while and then closed and then repeat

    That way they find useful info here, maybe come back occasionally to read some stuff, and then when they can't they join up and then its a slippery slope to being a proper posting member. Once you get them to join up they're as good as hooked, but not many will bite when they can't see the bait.
