Should We Drop Sign-In Requirement?

This site has been closed to non-registered users for more than a year now, and has only seen new sign-ups because of arms-length, word-of-mouth interactions (and a very small number of those).

I have been considering opening up the site’s visibility so that visitors can see what’s here and decide for themselves whether to join up.

For me, personally, if a site requires me to sign up just to see what’s on it, then I guess I’ll just never see what it has because I’m not going to be bothered with all that nonsense.

This isn’t a decision I’m going to make by myself, so I’d like everyone’s feedback on how open and visible YOU want this site to be

  • Keep it closed - it’s better just like it is
  • No sign-in requirement to view most stuff
  • Full public visibility - liberate all the posts

Cool. Sorry to have missed the poll, but this sounds great. Thanks for all your work on this!
