Wow, I wanted to say "yes" to letting guests post messages...but it never occurred to me that people would use a message board/forum to be rude & nasty.
Guess that changes my answer to "no"!!
(Hey & I promise I will never be rude!!!! LOL)

I think guests should definitely not be allowed to snopp on limewire. they should mind their own business & us members only should come into this forum, nosy buggers! if they don't have limewire they should go to their own forums. They have no businesss coming here.

i think a seperat corner for unregistered users would be a good idia and a compromise.... so it would be there own little cesspool that they can do whatever they want and say whatever they want (including trolls) without us (registerd non idiot users) having to put up with any of there crap. and there would be some managment to remove piracy talk /diskusting pictures from it but it wouldent be done religiousley , so the new users would have to just put up with the crap untill they register...

and this is just about the forums...has nothing to do with limewire...WTF are you talking about fwapj??

and gusts should definantley be allowed to at least VIEW what wev poasted here...after all it is largley a PC/p2p help forum.

if you want somthing to be kept private , thats what email and PMs are for....

CRT you mention "diskusting pictures". I thought to were going to do something about this burger, it's really looking rather stale ... you .... could throw it into the cesspool as nourishment

And even then I mod the first few posts.

60 to 80% increase in memberships/month since the changes. Pity I don't get 10 cents for each one.
Seems to be slightly better quality posts (certainly responses) ... & better placed/located generally as an improvement. Instead of the erratic posting of them previously. It's at least a major improvement though more improvement would be prefered. lol ie: looking at forum rules & correct section to post & stickies which have 80% of most answers before posting would be prefered for the newbies.
