Yeah it's been suggested before and I didn't really like the idea tbh. I always click off ClubHabbo when it tells me I've ran out or w/e message it is and need to register. I actually think they've removed this now because I was lurking around and not getting that message.
I agree with Apple, a more gentle and friendly approach rather than a forceful one would be better. I also think the registration isn't really the problem (I always see new people entering competitions everyday), it's keeping them here which is what the Welcome Committee was brought in for. :)

Also possible that the guests are search engine bots, crawling the site. I know that happens a lot on hx.com.

I think it's a great idea. I've been on loads of forums where I've just read a few threads without bothering to sign up because I, simply, can't be bothered to. I don't see the harm in a trial. Habbox is meant to be a community so maybe if we gave visitors a push in the right direction?
I'm all for it, I can see the negatives of it but I think there are equal amount of positives.

I dunno if this has already been said but why not have a pop up? Like a person could be viewing the thread and then a little screen pops up saying "Why not sign up to Habbox Forum today? Click here to go to the registration page"

No, just no. As others have said, it forces users to sign up and makes it look like you're really desperate for more users. It's fine the way it is, users will sign up if they feel like it, forcing them will only turn them away.
