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.

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.

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....

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...
