When an unregistered person can just post a message, it's a waste of all our time. Why let a "guest" just post away? Require "login" please!!

Most "guests" post messages that require follow-up questions just to finally get an answer compiled.

For example, "Does BT work"? It depends on what options you have and what continent you live on!

C'mon Mesage Board Admin! A lot of vet posters may just get sick of responding.

I agree. If anyone can post, what's the point of having a registration process?

I was one of those "Guests" for a little while but decided to register. Maybe the admin should let Guests be able to read only and not post.

I agree.

Guests - read only.

I must admit I was one of those guests who posted a message 2 weeks ago BUT I did register straight after.

Great idea about the read only. I read a few posts before registering.

Hehe, well it's probably time, since we're attracting more folks every day. I'm thinking about launching an E63/E64 forum as well; I just made a category, and I guess I'll let folks decide if they want to use it. Maybe I could even get a generic domain name like "e6x.org"...hmm, then that'd mean I'd have to have E65/E66 forums too! Might not be a bad idea...
