That's not ridiculous at all, it's a pretty standard ratio for forums.

I just think its ridiculous that as of 4:17 pm my time that there is 63 users online but only 17 registered, 1 hidden and 45 guests on.

It wouldn't do a thing actually, other than turn potential new members off. People are going to spam addresses, unregistered or not, and forcing registration is barely a bump in the road.

I do agree with you here.

the post you are referring to was viewed over 2000 times in the past 6 months, not in an hour.

I think you should have to have an account to be able to view the boards. I think that if people who want to look at our discussions and feedback should have to have an account and also give feedback about addresses that work or dont. It will also cut back on people spamming celeb's email addresses. There no way over 2000 registers people viewed the kim kardashian post in 1 hour. Its unregistered people looking for easy and free autographs
