Reason for keeping the forum unvisible for everybody?
Hi,
I can't remember why we decided to make the forum invisible to non registered user. As I can't find where it was discuss, someone can enlight me? What I remember is that everything comes from the divx/Diko issue, but as there is no diko nor divx discussion anymore, is it still usefull? Perhaps could we open in reading mode the forum for everybody? And if it's a taboo subject, just delete this post! :-) Salu2 Fabrice |
Hi Fabrice,
It was made that way to force people to join. If I open the forums in read only, the registrations will drop like mad, because it has been my experience that about 80% of people read, but they never post. So there will be many many leechers that never join, because they can read and get their answers. -Karl |
Uops!
I did/do interprete that pay-for-join as a way for excluding warez "only one interest" leechers. And that makes sense. Quote:
Also (I dont know if you did already point that out) you should mention on te portals/registry area that these few bucks will be used for effective forums-providing-costs and for donation of several useful outside projects |

I think I did mentioned that in the forum :) -Karl |
