This is a post from proboards support
Coding Forums
As a result of increasing complaints, email issues, and getting support becoming increasingly difficult for members, it has been decided that any forum remote linked to for codes must be open for guests.
Helping members is not a competition to see who has the highest member count.
If a member just wants a code and nothing else, the registration is useless to you anyway (unless you care about the member count) since the member would only signup, get what they want and leave.
The difference with having the forum open, is that members do not have to encounter the haste of registration, and the possibility of email delivery problems.
Forums are remembered for the quality of codes provided, and the look and feel of the forum, not the member count.
Any posts to a code which is in a registration needed area will be removed
NOTE: This does not apply to coding requests boards, just databases. Anything which involves actual posting is fine to have guests disallowed, since spam would be an issue other wise
Thank you
