Hey gang...we've had a number of requests to offer a guest feature on the site so people can check us out before registering. Even though registering is free it is thought that we might be losing some folks from finding out how much fun we are because of the registration process. Others worry that we'll lose our 'private' like nature since the only people who can see our posts are other members.
What are your comments and thoughts? -ww
Offer Guest feature on the site?

My 2psi: I'd say allow people to browse the forums before they register 
. Chances are if they read something funny or informative, or notice that there are other divers in their area on here, they'll soon join.

The sea does not belong to despots. On its surface iniquitous rights can still be exercised, men can fight there, devour each other there, and transport all terrestrial horrors there. But at thirty feet below its level their power ceases, their influence dies out, their might disappears.

Great idea WW to let people view before registering. I also agree with not letting them post unless registered. I participate in several other forums on several other topics and have seen where trolls have created alot of problems and dissention. I don't expect any problem here as you wonderful moderators keep a close tab on things.

I totally agree. If you take the time to registar then you are at least a little commited to the community. Letting guest post opens up a nightmere as for are the kinds of comments that are put up on a particular forum.Great idea WW to let people view before registering.
