If your going to add content to a free section of the forums and password protect it, then the password should be provided, members shouldnt have to ask for a password that for what I can gather, KEEPS CHANGING as and when you feel the urge too.
Furthermore it will undoubtedly upset members to a point of
[1] no return, can't be hassed farting about
[2] little traffic
[3] forum closes.
So why do it?
Oh REALLY? Why don't you take the time to contribute and become a
productive member of the forum instead of coming in here and making demands.
Your 3 assumptions are absolutely baseless. The only members who leave over a password fit are whiners and leechers and people with a "gimmie gimmie gimmie" attitude.
And good riddance to them all. Do you realize how many members there are and how much traffic this site gets? It ain't shutting down.
The password has been the same for years. CONTRIBUTORS know this and so do productive members.
There's a reason it's not listed in threads.
1. It helps prevent leechers.
2. It prevents it from being indexed in the search engines.
3. It helps keep mirrors alive because they cannot be accessed "outside" of the forum when files are password protected.
4. It pisses the ungrateful whiners off.
