Since the forum was moved to this URL and using the updated phpBB forum software, the ONLY section non-members could view was the Guest section - and there was little there of any real significance...apart from the occasional spambot message (which were deleted).
I've now had a think through of what the forum should be doing (which is to encourage people to join in) and as such, I've now "opened up" what can be seen by "Guests" - that is people who haven't joined the forum and haven't signed in.
So, the following sections (and their various sub-sections):
General Forum
All ACTIVE BOINC Projects
are now on OPEN VIEW to ANYONE who visits for the next (say) 4 weeks. All other sections still require people to either register or login to their account.
Guests cannot post to the above forums but the above sections are viewable so people can see what we're up to - and if they like the topics and/or messages they can now see, they might be encouraged to join in.
I would hope that this experiment works and maybe the forum membership might grow - it's worth a try anyhows

EDIT: I have re-enabled forum registration to allow people to join, if they want to. But I will have to keep an eye out for spambots !!
