What are the pros and cons about letting non reg memb view the content in the forums?

I am trying to get some ides from other forum owners on the pros and cons of allowing non registered members to view the actual thread content of my forums, as apposed to letting everyone view everything.

My thoughts are, if I allow everyone to view the forum's content, they will find no need to register. BUT on the flipside, if I deny non registered members access to thread content, they may leave quicker because they feel they are being forced into registering.

Can some of you guys tell me what you've done on your forum, and how it's been working out for you?

Thanks ...

Mary
