You may not need it, others may.

Personally, i would recommend it, why force someone to register if he/she is only going to post once and never come back? You may "lose" that one registration but in return you will get 3 more to replace him/her.

Let visitors drive you more traffic.

I get it now, I am using it- I just was confused with the terminology since I thought by 'comment box' it was the small 1 line comment field when you press the like button.

Also I agree with your logic of showing it only to guests but I would suggest also at least the admin, if not mods, in case there is a comment that needs to be removed- I don't usually visit my board as a guest and I may not even be aware of a 'bad' comment otherwise.
