Hi John,

It may give them a reason to join if they can't just come on, read things, get advice, and hide!

I've submitted my votes, but I also wanted to add that if you seek to acquire additional members, when posting an article, it might be helpful to give the public a taste of the article, as in maybe a few paragraphs, but to read the whole of it, you have to be a member.  There needs to be some sort of advantage to becoming a member.  If everything is public, why would someone become a member?

That's a very interesting idea! I see many journalism/media/news websites follow this approach of allowing for an excerpt to be publicly viewable but for them to continue reading, they would have to become a member to log in. Thanks for that!
