Hey all.
I read Moo's post about the increasing amount of traffic we are getting. It's a good thing no doubt... but what bothers me is the number of "guests" we have connecting. As I look at it this morning... we have 15 members and 91 guests online. These guests are reading threads, blogs, wiki, and generally burning up our bandwidth. While I realise that said guests are the main way that we get new members... I think the number of places they can access is a bit broad.
Perhaps it is time to restrict guest access to certain areas of the site.
Many places I visit you have to be a member to view any of the threads... which can be a pain... so let's not go that far.
But can we restrict wiki, blogs, Admin Stuff, & Mature Topics to members only? Especially the mature section and the blogs... as there is a lot of personal information out there that would probably be safer out of everyone's view.
Also... I am kinda bothered by the fact that guests can view everyone's profile. I don't really think that it is a safe thing to do.
