Guest/log-in

[federico]

Hey, just wanted to let everyone know that the message board has been changed to where you have to log in to view and post anywhere in the forum. Earlier I noticed there was a commercial spam post, so I deleted it and changed the forum settings to where you have to log in to post anything. It's more convenient for us that way since we can view the profile before approving, and if there is a spammer then we don't approve them.
Everything else is still the same as before.

I changed the settings again to where guests are allowed to only view the e-bay board (to help with the viewing/sales of the auction), and the General Announcements, but they MUST log in or sign up to view the rest of the boards and topics and make any kind of post.
So the boards that seem empty weren't deleted, they're just hidden from non-members.

I made these changes so people don't think the message board is dead and locked, but rather get a small glimpse of it and sign up, but also to keep soul-less spammers out.
