I am definately with the guest forum idea...and leaving the rest of the forum open.
I think it would encourage people to post in the first instance...which may lead to them wanting to become more involved and therefore to register.
Like reality said, we can always close it again if it gets horrendously abused.

I'm not twisting them, merely interpreting them. I thought your initial post indicated a certain laziness and wondered if you'd expound when prodded. If you're also willing to watch over it then that's at least 3 mods who are up for a bit of modding. Great stuff.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 ?
I'm indifferent to a guest section but since there are mods willing to give it a go to see if, in fact, it will up the membership then there can be no harm in it. Your post seemed to be putting the mockers on it because it would save the team some time.
What you say subsequently against the guest forum is kinda negated by what Sara and RealitY have posted - in essence; nothing ventured, nothing gained.
I plan on beating him to death with his kids. I'll use them as a bludgeon on his face. -

I say we have a vote, then whatever the results are not do anything untill we prod Brian enough ( a few months later ofcourse) so it looks like the board is in meltdown again...
