Registration is free so I don't see what the problem is. Secondly if someone can not even fill a 2 min form (which you believe is analogous to a restriction) then how can you expect more information and knowledge to be imparted here?
We didnt expect anything yet this forum is fully loaded with all kinds of information.

Quote:
How will someone who does not even gives 2 mins of his to a forum he/she is leeching information and knowledge from give back to the community? Registration fulfills the exact purpose you listed and gives it an entirely new dimension. When more people register, they tend to participate more. sharing ideas, generating more traffic and sharing more knowledge
.
You cannot guarantee that after getting themselves registered, they will make contributions as well. More than a hundred individuals register daily but do they really share anything? Majority are newbies and join in to take, not to give. Only after having enough study and experience, they add what they gain.

Quote:
Let me add here, at it is very important, that forums which rely on guests to generate traffic eventually die as there is little to none new activity (thread and posts) . The net is filled with such examples and if needed I can also share them here.
I dont think we need to see the examples. We are satisfied the way we are. I second Bear here that Supermods and Admins are not too free to attend the forum 24/7 to moderate registered members every single moment.

We are not relying on anything. This forum was launched in the name of Allah when there was no resource for CSS aspirants and only Allah will keep it going on Inshallah.
