iceonly Posted February 15, 2005 Report Share Posted February 15, 2005 (edited) this is a hard question, but i think ppl should be able to view it. if they have to register they probably would even do it, but never post. and so the number of ppl would grow, but still no active posters. i rather have it the way it is.

KevTastic Posted February 15, 2005 Report Share Posted February 15, 2005 Well if they are big enough Will & Jeff fans they wouldn't come onto the forum unless they really wanted to read and post themselves, so maybe you shud make it a members only forum.

Jazzy Julie Posted February 15, 2005 Report Share Posted February 15, 2005 yeah i think they should log in, you will get more members and we wont get anymore guests sayin stuff while not logged in, its nice to know who u r talkin to sometimes.

Jonny 5 Posted February 15, 2005 Report Share Posted February 15, 2005 I think mostly the guests are people that have forgotten to log in. We don't get very many guests apart from that do we? Definitely make some forums 'guestproof' like you already have done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-o-e Posted February 15, 2005 Report Share Posted February 15, 2005 i think u shud let people read it by jus plain intrest, people have a voice, its there choice if they wana use it!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WesSyde Posted February 15, 2005 Report Share Posted February 15, 2005 i think people should be allowed 2 VIEW the forum if their not guests. however, the must be registered to POST. if u make it so that u must be registered just 2 view the forum, then that will kinda drive people away who just wanna read. on the other hand, when people steal stuff from this forum, u'll know it wasnt some idiot guest who pops in just 2 steal stuff :lolsign: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Da Brakes Posted February 15, 2005 Report Share Posted February 15, 2005 If they register tho it might not necassarily encourage them to post. They'll just register to see it and lurk as normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrshPrnceCharmng Posted February 16, 2005 Report Share Posted February 16, 2005 If they register tho it might not necassarily encourage them to post. They'll just register to see it and lurk as normal. Too true Brakes. Isn't that what's been going on for a while, like when Switch was released? Wasn't there a spike in registered users? Anyway I think they should be able to see all the threads without registering, but disalow the guest positng. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JumpinJack AJ Posted February 16, 2005 Report Share Posted February 16, 2005 I think that if anyone is a real fan and plans 2 be here alot, they'll go thru' the 'trouble' of registering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevTastic Posted February 16, 2005 Report Share Posted February 16, 2005 I think that if anyone is a real fan and plans 2 be here alot, they'll go thru' the 'trouble' of registering. exactly, if you click on a forum it means you either wanna read or post or do both things. Well if these people really wanna do that then whats one minute of their life to fill in some details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFreshestOfThemAll03 Posted February 17, 2005 Report Share Posted February 17, 2005 So what's the verdict, what are you guys gonna do about the forum? My opinion is that we should make them register I know everyone has a voice and they should be able to voice it, but it's just like voting you can't vote until you're a certain age and go through the process of registering. (hah) maybe a bad example but it's not that hard to register seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3cookies Posted February 4, 2006 Report Share Posted February 4, 2006 Well, when I joined the WS board back in 1999 or 2000 ( cant remember exact year), I was a 'guest' and reading posts, till I built up the courage to register. (mainly cuz it was all guys, .. dont specifically remember any female till i joined) Tho, once I registered the rest was history. lol. So I say,... let them 'view' certain forums, but not all. Thenthey would have to register,.. to post and get other priveledges that a guest would not... :2thumbs: peace, cookie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
