Make guests register after a certain number of views

#1

Since we have tons of guests that visit daily and not many members anymore, why not make the guests register after they have looked at 5-10 topics. This way they will register and hopefully become active and then yay, more members.

#2

Pretty sure I’ve seen this topic before in the past, I agree with you. Certainly would bring in more members.

#3

That or it would result in less people using the site. Not sure which is worse though, the lack of activity or the lack of traffic.

#4

I hate that shit.
Rune-Server does it and it annoys me.
I go on rune-server all the time and just browse. Not even make a single word of a reply. And I’m sure plenty of others do to. I’m sure you can tell how well that idea worked for them.

All you’re going to do is inflate the lurker population.

#5

here at moparscape we respect freedom

#6

freedom like GNU/Linux.

#7

Half the guest are just web crawler bots.

you mean GNU PLUS Linux or GNU + Linux or GNU AND LINUX

#9

#10

yup, the only reason I became an active member on rune-server is because they had that feature. if they didn’t, i never would’ve registered

You could just remove all cookies and carry on viewing, but Rune-Server removed this restriction recently anyway.

I play mindless amounts of flash games.
They save locally in cookies.

#13

I would just remove all rune-server.org cookies in Chrome and carry on viewing.

#14

What’s the point of adding a feature like this? Whenever there’s a forum with that activated I either just ignore and go find what I was looking for somewhere else or I register, get what I wanted and then never visit that forum again

#15

Yeah pretty much…

#16

Has anywhere ever seen a forum that requires this and contains better content than its competitors that don’t require it?

#17

Wait, my brain is lost.
