Wtf is the point of registering an account here in the forum?

Just an opinion here, i've just been here for not long but you've got to compare the statistics on those that sign up to read and just online visits to the web. If you want a larger community on the forums, you can just keep it but if you don't mind smaller or comparing with ither fansites or whatsoever, you may take it away. Maybe for other threads like Eurovision you may keep it open to the public but they can't reply? Just let them browse but not the ability to reply in threads? Then that will prompt them to register an account on the forums to give their opinions. If that sounds better. Let's not argue here, i feel the same those people who wants to keep the limit that you want a bigger community on the forums/bigger family (do enlighten me if i'm totally wrong) and those that want it gone to attract more new users. Maybe restrict the browsing to certain threads, afterall our forums are always brimming with activity, people who thinks that there is a limit still might register for an account which in my opinion is like a +/-. But it boils down to whether the mods want to remove it or leave it. Just giving my opinion but if it doesn't help or i start getting criticised at, i'll just delete this post or any of you mods can help me do it Just do not want any of you guys to fall out just for this argument about the limit and registration.

I don't think it should be kept. I read plenty of forums without signing up, if it eventually doesn't allow me to read anymore posts I most of the time stop going on it.

It's better to have people viewing the forum and not signing up rather than stopping all together.
