make people register ?

do you guys think it would be a good idea to make people register before they can view the forum ? or would that screw up the mr.photoshop pages :/ just an idea anyway cause everyday there's like 500 people view and only like 5 users, but then again I guess we'd end up with like tonnes of inactive user's in the database... which brings me to maybe its time to clean some of those up ?

Erm... I dunno, I've never forved a user to register before, and personally I don't like it when that happens to me. Although it could be a good idea as it would make people take the effort to register they may well come back again - or just not register and fo away!

but alteast you weed out the ones that really don't care :D

What if we made it so that guests have limited access to the catigories, like not allow them to see most of them. Put something on where they have to register to view the good catigories/import ones...
