Hi everyone,
I have been reading up on encouraging people to contribute to forums and the consensus seems to be that by forcing people to register before they can post messages, this will encourage them to become regular contributors to that forum (since they have taken the trouble to sign up they might as well come back again and again!).
So for at least the next few weeks I am disabling Anonymous posting in all squidfish forums. Guests will still be able to read all topics (except for the competitions forum) but will not be able to reply to or start new topics.
Lets see how it goes,
Cheers, Glen <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/zorro.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':th' />
