When looking at the number of people viewing the site, which I occasionally do, I've noticed that the number of guests is generally higher than the number of registered members...usually by a considerable margin. (When I checked this morning, 60% were guests; and I've seen it closer to 75%)

I know at times, Rich, you've adjusted settings to block guests from advancing past the index/home screens (they could view those, but not open individual threads/ads). Did that have a meaningful impact in the number of registrations or posts?

The reason I'm posting this here is because I wanted to ask members what their typical response is when they go to a site that doesn't allow guests to view content (without registering). I've encountered this when researching work subjects, as well as various personal interests and I don't think I've ever registered when I've been blocked at the door; but I don't consider myself the average/normal internet user for a number of reasons.
