Default New forum guidelines -- what do you think?
Hello all,

For quite some time now we have been thinking about re-designing the forum structure here, to make both your and our life here easier.
As you probably know, a large number of forums here are closed to non-licensed members. These include:
  • Full Releases
  • Hacking Hints and Tips
  • Requests
  • Help!
  • Support
  • Template Modifications
  • Buttons and Graphics
  • Language Packs
Currently, the General Discussion forum is open for everyone, which causes a large number of unlicensed users to post there. We, of course, would like that to stop.

Would you like to see the General Discussion forum closed to non-licensed users, and a Pre-Sales forum opened for users to ask their questions prior to buying vBulletin?

Please vote as your heart tells you in this poll, and post all your comments below. We will review the results in few days and do what we find right. The results will be (privately) split to licensed and unlicensed voters, so we can estimate how sincere the voter was.

On a small side-note, I've just taken a look at the statistics of the board, and I'm truly amazed. Over 600 hacks are released here (626, to be exact)! That's a great figure and I thank all of you for this.

Cheers!

personally, i think the best way is to restrict everywhere the access to non-licensed users, except the pre-sales area.

i don't know how, but i noticed an increased demand from tyro hackers stating: "why i cant download the hacks? can you email me the hack?? pleaseeeeee..." i would pin in the pre-sales forum what you need to access the protected areas..

the forums layout is good. people can see the hacks, but they cannot read the thread content.

Great!!!! I completely agree with nakkid.
Restricting unlicensed members to a Pre-Sales Questions forum would be wonderful.
I use the View New Posts Search when I visit, so it would be nice to know that I would only have to worry about stumbling on the please e-mail me this...... type threads in Pre-Sales forum an I'd only look at Pre-Sales after browsing everything else. Can't wait to see what happens.

Yeah, restrict to a pre-sales forum, though let them see the hack database so they can see descriptions of the hacks available but not the threads.
