...what's your opinion on this? does it help or hurt?

Erwin · #2 10-31-2002, 01:52 AM

Hurt. Because if they don't know what's in your forums, why should they spend time to register?

N!ck · #3 10-31-2002, 01:54 AM

well, that makes sense. what about allowing them to view the main board, but none of the forums? same thing?

Erwin · #4 10-31-2002, 02:30 AM

Same thing IMO. The threads are what draws people to register - threads are the forums' contents. Content is what people are looking for, not whizbang graphics.

totally agree with Erwin.

I never register for a forum where I am not allowed to freely see what sort of content is posted there.

Don't see anything really hurts!

Personally i think you should restrict what they could see.

for example don't show up the offtopic, or a cheats forum or something like that, but all other show to em as an appetizer

Personally I draw the line at them being able to do things like Quizzes, Quotes, Posting etc...

Though sometimes my forums permissions jump around alot

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
