guest house

[Zafiras]

might seem as tho im against guests but ive noticed so many of them hitting the forums probably finding their cracks or programs n all then moving on, maybe MGF should look at locking the patch locator forums and a few of the other ones just to try pursuide a few guests to joining.

any guests out there want to disagree with me feel quite welcome to join MGF and voice your opinion... (hehe that way i win :) they will then be a member :D)

[O.G]

I agree with u,no guests, just members....We need alot more active members posting..400+ members,only 40/50 active...Whats the prob here???

[Vile]

Yea, I thought about that. May give it a shot, but I'll talk it over w/ the other admins.

[Dan]

if they dont return within a certain amount of days u could de-activate their account coz there more than likely not gonna come back ;)

[col]

yeah if u do that then even though they may join.....what if they still do the same thing like look around.... never post.... or just post for one crack/serial and thats it.... just a waste of time i think....

We should lock the whole forum, like when your about to go to the forums it should say "you must register first then you may look at the forums" or a rule saying "if you dont post in 1 month you will be banned" thats a good rule.

or a rule saying "if you dont post in 1 month you will be banned" thats a good rule.

I think banned is a bit to harsh, maybe just deleted. So they can still re-join with their name:)

[Zafiras]

dont ban em.... just have it set that they receive those annoying password reminders once a week until they get their butts into gear

Yeah banning them is a bit to harsh.
LOL@get their butts into gear :)
All of that sounds like a good idea if i was a Admin i will be working on it straight away :)

so what you are saying is that all you want is members no guests.that is a bit unfair as i was a guest to this site and i had a good look at it and like the site but i decided to join in about a week after having a good look.So it is realy up to the person if they want to join or not that's what i thourght it was.

g'day from downunder and have a good look and if you like it join you may.

ahhhhh blaaaahhhh typical Melbournian :p

you probably dont know what this place was like going back a while ago, when the member count was... well huge, its the only way to run forums these days.
The fair way to run MGF is to have everyone contribute, but while guests are able to roam free then they are always on the take and very rarely on the give.

anyways my opinion only but right now is a prime example of it... 7 members --> 16 guests - bit outnumbered

@Zafiras

MGF now require you to be logged in / register in order to see the forums.

[Zafiras]

think theres another thread in chit chat much like this one... why are the guests still able to veiw other parts of the forums eg:
