Suggestion for the 'Tech Support Forums' website

I suggest that only registered members should be allowed to view a thread, and they could only see the preview of the inicial post, like when you point the mouse over the name of the thread. That way we can get more people to register.

I disagree. What is the point of having a free support site if you have to register to get an answer to a problem that has been previously solved? The only thing that this would do is creat thousands of dormant usernames and profiles that would just take up space.

I agree. Did you know that on average we get about 200 members per day, but on an average minute, there are 200 people on the site. That would mean quite literally, 1000's of new members.
