Yes, you gotta be logged in to see the threads now.
The reason is we're not paranoid.

Re: You gotta be logged in to see the threads now?
buh, buh, buh.
The powers that be can see anyways, so that don't matter.
It's an inconvenience, as I often browse without bothering to login.
What little hope we had of attracting new members is gone.
I also question the timing. One week before E3? I suspect we have non-members who read here still, or even old, old ODWF/playnow members who are casual observers.
(shrug). I don't care that much though.

You probably didn't realise that we had registrations disabled for nearly 2 years, we've opened it up again.I also question the timing. One week before E3? I suspect we have non-members who read here still, or even old, old ODWF/playnow members who are casual observers.
We want those people to login and contribute. This is kinda a push to hopefully get them posting. Just keep yourself signed in elf.

Re: You gotta be logged in to see the threads now?
Why no new registrations for two years? Were we overpopulated or just reached a point of perfection?
I also thought it might have been to keep Jasper out, but now I'm worried about who we're trying to keep in.....
I thought I might be able to see freemasons now.

Re: You gotta be logged in to see the threads now?
I just assumed no one signed up for 2 years
Re: You gotta be logged in to see the threads now?
I'm a bit puzzled as to who this benefits. Registered users now have the extra step of logging in (or decreased security of always being logged in), non-registered users can't see anything at all and thus have very little incentive to create an account.
Was there a problem with having the forums open for viewing to anyone? Is this change spam-related or something?

Re: You gotta be logged in to see the threads now?
Not sure why anyone would be concerned over non posting, unsigned people being unable to lurk and read the content. If they want to read the forums they can sign up or sign in or they don't read the forums. We've closed public viewing and opened registrations. I like the idea of those "members" who no longer participate having to sign in now. I also think there's an increased incentive to sign up now. Time will tell.Gamma wrote:non-registered users can't see anything at all and thus have very little incentive to create an account.

Personally I think not having everything public is a better option.
Anyway, sometimes things change.

Sounds like all these lurkers are just Elf browsing while not logged in.

Yah... I kind of like the semi-secret idea. Making it slightly more difficult for my employer and their... business associates... to see the shit I talk about on here is just fine by me.

Thread DRM, can I trade my posts as soon as I'm done with them? Is xbox live required?

We will update Freemason access in the next few days. Some of you have clearly slipped through the cracks.

Any chance of lowering the subscription fees or completely abolishing them?

Re: You gotta be logged in to see the threads now?
We're looking at free access to some forums with member subscriptions. GR+ we're calling it. As long as you're subscribed and paying your fee, content is completely free.

GR Gold will be continuing as well, but you don't really get anything for your $100
Re: You gotta be logged in to see the threads now?
Is there a family GOLD sub?

If I end my GR+ account will I still have access to the content?
