Simply put, they NEVER register! I ran several months with NO registrations, NONE. As soon as I blocked content to Guests, I started getting real registrations pretty regularly. If the content they can see is interesting and you block, say code for instance, it does seem to motivate them to register, not that it does anything about participation but at least I know that someone is interested is something I have to offer on my site by the fact that they registered to see it. By the way, I use the MOD that blocks links and code, I don't restrict the forums specifically from guests.
