Re: Guest Forum

Quote originally posted by betts01 ...
Have you found many people who post on the guest forum actually end up registering? I'd be interested in that data. In having joined several forums in hopes of being able to promote mine, I do find that the requisite form and e-mail response is a pain. But I'm not sure if posting in a guest forum would actually encourage me to join if I had no ulterior motive.
Well, no. I don't actually think any guest has ever posted in there.

Re: Guest Forum

Interesting thread.

So... most of you suggest against "guest" posting.

Here is what I am planning to do - I have a very exclusive members website. To become a member, you have to pass several "tests" that cannot be faked. This includes a voice call to your current employer.

There is a ton of brain power in that group, and there are some who cannot make it because of one or an other reason. I would still like to offer these non-members a sort of a guest pass. Register as a user, yet not have full access to everything internal. I guess this is what Atomica was talking about. The requirements to register as a "guest" would be seriously reduced, allowing the "guests" to post/read/mingle in designated areas with the full members.

Does this still sound like a bad idea?
