Do a Promotion to the normal usergroup after 1 post, and then after they have made there thread they will be able to see the rest of the forum and interact with it like normal members.

Might not be so good for indexing of sites though if you turn everything off to spiders. So recommended that you allow guests to see everything still. Just put a note under the Intro forums description saying "YOU HAVE TO POST AN INTRO THREAD HERE BEFORE POSTING ELSEWHERE".

Sounds good. Let me try that on for size.
