    I want to begin by saying i'm not here to critisize or anything. I just want to give a suggestion since this is the section to do so.

    I've noticed that the forum has been a lot more quiet recently. I don't know if it has anything to do with it being summer time but to me it seems to be since there were changes made and you had to login to be able to view threads. I remember months back, when a thread was started there were people discussing and commenting within minutes. Now a lot of threads don't even exceed 1 page. You hover over a lot of sections and it isn't rare to see that the last message in a certain section was made hours ago.

    Anyway, I think having to login to be able to read threads is hurting the forum. I think what makes a new user want to sign up and participate in a discussion is seeing people's responses. It makes them want to respond. Nowadays with Information readily available just at the tip of your fingers people get distracted easily, so when they see a thread that looks interesting and realize they have to sign up to see what people are saying, they might just say "f--- it" and go somewhere else.

    On the other hand, being able to browse threads freely like most popular and active forums on the Internet gives you more chances of generating traffic. And more traffic = more people likely to sign up.

    I know the idea behind that was to try and get more people to sign up and participate, but the only thing it's really doing is hurting the traffic and making potential members go somewhere else because they didn't want to go through the "hassle" of signing up when they discovered this forum. But give them the opportunity to browse freely and eventually a lot of them will sign up.

    This wouldn't be a bad idea to try again, especially since we have a pvt section now so guests and new people don't join discussions expecting to get a download link.
