Hi! Lately I have seen some requests from you to only allow registered users to post in our forums.
The intention was to keep this an 'open' forum, but lately I have seen that many people forget to login before they post...and that looks kind of silly...hehe...
Another thing is that most users who post are registered...only about 10% of the posts are by anonymous visitors...
What do you think about this?

hell yes!
i dont like it when 'nobody' replies or starts a thread asking for a song, when they dont even bother to sign up. but we have to bother to look for the song on cd-r, harddrive, ftp's or whatever...
so yes, only registered users can post!

Stream, I seem to remember starting a thread exactly like this in the "Comments & Suggestions" area a while back.....don't think I got much response though - I think you said you were going to leave it how it was for the time being or something....but anyway....you already know how I feel.

also it is so much easier if you have a track thats been requested to send a private message to them, and to do that involves registering, it doesn't take long to do, and then everyone knows who you are as well. Definitely a good Idea

WOW!! 10 votes in 26 hours....really amazing...NOT!
Perhaps it would be an idea to just close down the forums....and the site....almost no-one seems to really care afterall

Stream, maybe that's what it seems like right now - but if no-one liked the site we wouldn't have thousands of members already. Now, if all the members that signed up would actually bother to post and vote on important issues, things would get better (even if only a couple of hundred of them did). I'm sick of it just being the same group of people who post all the time and vote for the polls (I know I'm one of them).
So come on people, we don't want all of Stream and the crew's efforts to get wasted - I for one want this to be the one and only trance community on the web. So please, please vote....it'll be worth it in the long run.
Stream - this is just one opinion out of the many members, I know - but I also know that many of the other members DO feel the same way, as I'm sure people are just going to make clear in replies to this post hehe.
Thanks,
-Kev

I think it would be a bit silly to shut down this site, after all the work you have put into it. I and i am sure many others wouldnt want you to do that at all.
I visit this site every day because it is really good.
I hope you will think twice about what you are saying.
I dont want you to shut it down.
I think it is a good idea for members to be the ones that contribute to the forums. :lol:

Hi,
There seem to be more votes now Cool!
Anyway, it looks as though we will be removing the option for unregistered users to post.

I agree, it doesnt take long to register.
Every other forum I post on requires you to register before you can post.
Great site by the way!

Most of you wanted it to be for registered users only...so now it's changed
From now on you have to be registered to post or reply in all forums except the Help and Info forum!
