Not an accident. Believe it or not the majority of the traffic on this site - 80% - is from unregistered guests - including Google spiders crawling and indexing our content.

I had a discussion with leadership regarding the Forum configuration. Didn't make sense to me that most forums were open to unregistered guests - while a few were restricted to registered users: Bench Racing, Truck Talk, Tech Tips and Body & Paint. Those are now open for guests to view.

There is one Forum that has been changed in the opposite direction. Unregistered guests can no longer view Chapter News. Seems reasonable to expect folks to at least provide a valid email address before being allowed to read postings on Club activities.
