I think having to be a member to read the posts on this board would be a positive thing.

You are absolutely right, given the nature of what has happened. But, it is impossible(if you want to keep the forum alive) Administration and even moderators have a responsibility to not only keep the forum safe but to keep it open to newcomers. Unless you think that they should start advertising PC in newspapers and magazines, they need to keep the forum open to new faces. If you decide to close it up to those that aren't members, this site will die. I promise. I have seen it for myself. Except for the people left inside the walls(so to speak..lol)

If you really want to keep this site safe, security has to start with the server.
