I thought the guest forum was removed because it was all just spam from banned members...
SP MngR
Well if that happens again itll get removed again although banned members manage to post anyway and the site is different now and with all the search engines and possible traffic lets take a look and see whos there for real then besides we can delete spam no biggy as I said just title it something like...
Guest Forum

I don't see whats wrong with the way we have it now... You can view, but not post unless you register. Saves the team a lot of time, and brings in interested members. why mess with a good thing ?

Ah well, that's the most important thing then. Never mind that this proposal may bring in more members.
A couple of mods have already posted saying that they are willing to sort the guest forum out. Are you speaking for them or is this a personal thing.
Upping membership is the most important thing, moderators who don't have time to moderate ... well, they're not much use. Are they.

don't think to twist my words
what I'm saying is that the original idea was to lock out guests from viewing the forum at at all. Bad idea, it turns people away. This way people can view topics and if they want to reply, they have to register. I see people complaining of people leeching from their work, even worse if they also able to leech free help ???
we have before had a guest section, and seems most people used it as a "bitch" section, or a " I'm banned so I'm going to spam" section. in other words, it was really never productive
and also, where does it say that I wouldn't look over it ?

Ide just think we should try it for test time perhaps and see what happens and am willing to keep a watch on it along with others. I think the worst that can happen is it sux and then we get rid of ti so why be concerned. Thing is if you take the opinion that leaving all forum open to read will allow n00bs to see what we have and join then allowing them to post on the board would better in that thought. I also seem to remember in the early stages of the Guest Forum that some Guest were pleased with the responses they got and were enticed into actually joining...
