If you post the DMCA within your forums then only those with access to the forum in which the DMCA is posted will have access to it. Typically administrators do not open forums to unregistered guests for posting but an administrator might open a forum to guests for reading. It seems that would be the logical solution if that is the option you choose. After all, it is highly unlikely a registered member is going to file a DMCA notice. Usually those are filed by the alleged copyright holder, an attorney, or an or an agent for service.

That's why I personally prefer the html page option. It allows unfettered access to whatever information you put on it without having to allow access to any part of the forums.

But, in truth, both options work. I've done both with equal success.
