Quick question, why do you need to register to see the forum, would it not be better for guests to be able to browse but have to register to post, with a new forum you want to get as many visitors as possible on your boards.

Hope you don't mind the thought

Cheers

Hey

If you are able to browse the forum freely I don't think there's any incentive to register plus theres some questionable content on the forum (streams) and even though its linking to other sites still don't think it would be wise to make it completly public. Might think about making some forums public though once theres a bit more discussion going on.

And its now open to the public minus one forum.

This is a great idea.More people will see and read some topics, and when will realize they cant access stream section they will register an account .

I too think that it would be a good idea to not make them register in order to see some of the site. It would give them a chance to look over the site and see if it the place for them before joining, as many people think that if they cannot view first it might not be worth joining.

If the registration would not be there, there won't be any incentive and one should show less interest in forums.
