Since the start of the new forum I have noticed a lot of Guests logged in (usually 4 guests for every 1 member). To me this says either:
1. Members are viewing without logging in , or
2. There are a lot of people out there that could become members.
Naturally, if the case is actually point 2, we should be doing something to capture this wider community as members.
No doubt the new supplier section may do this or at least assist. I think locking out certain threads to members only would help.
Another thought is restricting "How to" information to blogs anbd locking them. That way step by step instructions would only be available to those that are members hence increasing the value of membership and one day paving the way for paid membership to take this already great forum to the next level.
