Here's a question that seems to be a bit of a strange issue between members of boards. Should we allow guests to post or not?
The pro to this is that Kimberly Estrada would not have to register in order to login and post.
The con is of course, if this board becomes successful that we could have people who are jerks come on and post.
So what do you think about this argument? I think we don't need to if we can get some of the models to register. That would just be SO cool.

True. But how do we stop olks from pretending the be the models if the models only guest post? If somehow we could set up accounts for them, at least we'd know which posts by them are legit. Another downside...
But - in general I would have one board where guests can post. I like having a technical support area that allows guest posting. That way we can be aware of what issues members may be having.

So we have a technical place here. Put it above everything else and make a welcome section? (I added it for you guys. Made the place guest friendly.)

A common issue was people not getting the confirmation e-mail so I put a little message about that in the technical support forum. Might be helpful. I noticed there were some guests trying to view that.

That's cool. I'm thinking we might get more people to sign up.

I hope they are real guests and hope they sign up soon. (I say this since from time to time, Googlebots visit my site to try to index it. I think only the admin can view the log that lists the guests that are here. IPs addies are vistors. If it just says 'Googlebot' then it's a bot.) But Proboards doesn't separate out bots and people in the 'guest' tally. So...usually if you have like 10 guests, there's a bot or 2 in there.
