Kelly, you do make a good point about having to log in to view posts. *This can definitely get cumbersome at times, and may dissuade visitors to our website from interacting.
However, keep in mind that this website is open to the public, and that the stories, questions, etc. posted on this board can get quite personal...in fact, created this board for that very reason. *
So to protect the sensitive nature of these posts, we instituted the policy that you register and log in to use the board, under the premise that by registering you're agreeing to treat the board and its members with the respect they deserve.
After some discussion, we will be 'testing' a new security method of only allowing registered members to post and reply, but allowing all the public to view the contents of the board. Hopefully this will help spur some additional interest in the subject matter. *Thank you for input! :)
