happy national day, was accessing CS this morning at 9am.
I wasn't logged in till posting this message, realized i am able to view the Portraits and Poses section without logging in.
A forum's first and foremost objective is to attract as many readership as possible. Sometimes survival is more important than segregation. Opening up P&P is a healthy move. It doesn't mean that locking P&P will definitely force the viewer to sign up an account. poco's and many other forums and galleries are all public.
There's nothing to hide anyway. When we post things on the net, we know it is open to anyone on the net. All the viewer needs is to sign up.
