Guests rule, Members drool
ain't nothing that pisses me off more then "having to sign up" places, i almost quit visiting here when you got rid of the guest forum and i had to join.
the only way for p2p to win is to educate n00bs on the ins and outs of file sharing, guest or not. there is strength in numbers.
plus the fact that guest might be more inclined to click an ad here then the members that don't even see them because of repetition of seeing them.
my 2½¢

They only post if they're interested in something; and cant post unless they become a member..
I'd rather keep them as guests if they aint gonna post.
It wasnt so long ago that the members were asking for a cleanout of non posting members

We wouldn't have gotten Vargas to join if he could have lurked forever. A few regular guests may load up FST on the day that it's not viewable to guests and suddenly decide to join and post, they could turn out to be just as valuable a contributor as Vargas, who knows.
M'lud. Consider the case at rest.

Ah.. the problems with semantics when talking to you or JP...
I still cant see your argument though
I'd rather one active member signed up than 100 non active.
I believe the number of potential people that will just not look is greater than the number that will sign up and start frantically posting.
The ones that will be active will register if they can see whats there, and may not even hang around if they have to register to look.
They may also remember the name and not bother looking the next time they google their question, in the mistaken belief that they have to register for that site.
And you know what i mean... im too bloody tired to try and tidy the english up

My main reason for joining:
if the only thing i wanted was to chat with regular members, and make fun of n00bs, i would have been gone long ago.

Anyhow, you certainly have a point. It could be that the number of sign-ups will decrease on the days that the forum is closed to guests.
If this is the case, of course, I will renounce this plan as a bad one and presumably the forum will revert to how it is now.
We'll never actually know until we try, tho'. It might just be a good idea
