Why Don't We Let People Not Registered See Forums?

To a member who hasn't joined yet, it's going to look like we're lacking many necessary forums since they can't view them.

well that will make them want to register wouldnt it

What? If someone looks at our forums and sees that we're missing a lot of important ones (or appear to be to them) the last thing they'll want to do is register.

well what if a member comes to tgn see's it and is amazed and wants to register to see all the cool features have u thought of that

...no one is going to be amazed by boards that look like they only have a gaming section. People are going to think TGN is horribly lacking and go elsewhere. They have no way of knowing there are more forums that are hidden from them.

they could think"cool ill join to see more!"and we need more members

...I'm not sure how to respond anymore, I feel like i'm repeating myself over and over. They have no way of knowing there is more to see. We aren't going to get more members by making our forums look largely incomplete.

But yeah, I believe Admin has already fixed this.
