Links to the files in that Category show still up in the Top 5 Files when one of these files is in this list. So they still see the link to a file that is in that category. Yes, the Category itself isn´t there anymore but links in the Top 5 etc. would be still visible and give unregistered users the "Invalid ID" text when they click on it.

That could be done more nicely with a message like i posted above. And if they don´t see the category at all, they don´t even know that with registering on the site would actually give them that other Category.

So if they dont know its in there, there is no reason for them to signup to the forum. So that doesn´t really makes it more helpful.
