Just a thought, but so you think it might prevent the server being overloaded during the hectic times with everyone trying to get bins, if guests couldnt get access unless they registered. This might benefit the forum twofold, one, we would have more members and two, maybe eventually more much needed donations. Guests are only coming on for free bins and free tech advice, they cant post, so in fact are really contributing nothing at all. They could also prevent many members trying to gain access during busy periods.
