I know I have asked before and the response was that a majority perferred we didn't. Well with the new year getting ready to start, I was wondering if this was still the majority decision. I know alot of guest would prefer it, but once they became members they preferred the boards closed,...do you all still feel the same way?PLease vote and if you can post your reason why you voted that way.
Also note that guest are more then willing to participate in this thread.
EDIT: I should also clarify that that if the boards are opened up that guest WILL NOT be able to post, but able to see...with the exception of the Enginneering and communications boards,,,,,,

I don't mind the board being open to guests, I just don't like the idea of them being able to post anything. IF they want to participate, then let them join.

I'm for the board being members only able to post, I dont mind Guests being able to view the boards but if they want to reply to any of the posts then it would be common courtesy for them to become members, its not difficult and takes next to no time at all, So please to all those guests viewing this thread, join us, I'm sure you will (like us) have loads of fun.

I'm happy either way, it doesn't really matter.
But I did vote yes.
Honestly, I think we're more likely to get more members if we let them read what's being posted. I for one know I don't typically like to join boards where I can read little or nothing on the board. I like to look around and see what kind of members there are and what the discussions are like and that such.
And if we let them see that there are a lot of nice members here and it's a good community, it's more likely we'll draw them in and they'll join up to post with us.

People like to buy what they can see. Guests like to join forums that they can see. It gives them an idea of the kind of people that are on the board and the kinds of discussions that go on here. I know that when I'm looking for places to join I read a lot of whats going on and if there are any discussions that interest me I join. If there aren't any I don't. This is also beneficial to us because the people that join are more likely to actually participate than people that sign up just to see whats going on and then never post at all.

I think that members should be allowed to post but, I belive that guests should reqister first if they wanna post... If not that could cause problems. They would just post to post.

Have the board vewing only to guests, then if they like us enough they will have to join the forum to be able to post.
