I think this is a great idea. Thanks Omni for taking this guys advice. I remember WAY BACK when I used to visit HF years ago and guests were permitted - I never made an account there until over a year later when the forum was blocked to non-registered users,

Nobody said it would be easy Tongue

But it makes the most sense to me, as people who need 1 on 1 advice need to post, and guides just meant to be followed.

Totally disagree. If someone has a problem and can find help here through questions already asked, why make them register? No! Knowledge should be free!

It's free to register. Next you'll tell me that a few clicks of their keyboard is too much to ask.
Superman I am here to rescue you.

I personally respect the idea of not implementing any VIP memberships until the site has time to grow. It generally puts strain on non-members and usually divides the forum. From the sound of it, that's definitely NOT the purpose of SupportForums and I hope it stays that way for the time being.

I would rather see members earn respect by working hard and contributing in an appropriate and interesting manner, rather than buying their way through the ranks.
