exclusive vs inclusive

[GothicMixx]

As a person who is interested in getting a vbulletin licence I must say that I was very put off on the idea now by the fact that I cannot look at screenshots in the Styles area, couldn't post in most forum areas (I actually wanted to compliment people on thier fine work in the Community Review area). I would say that I found this all kind of counterproductive in enticing someone to becoming interested enough to purchase one. It kind of says, we are not interested in you until you purchase a licence. Is that the intent? Or am I missing the point
