Also the reason that you can't view the site unless you register is because a few people there were worried that people were showing up as 'guest' when they visited the forum and 'guest' could be axe murderers, anything. There was a thread which ran along the lines of 'who are all these guests?' 'I think it's very suspicious, who would go to a forum and not register?' 'must be people with evil intent trying to work out how to destroy the site' that kind of thing.
I even posted to say it's OK, only people like me, nothing suspicious, but it did not allay their fears. It's a shame really.

OH MY GOD! This is truly sad. I think you should try to encourage people to check out your site, not ban them . . . . **shakes head and walks away muttering**

Epona, but they have given me access, though I CAN turn out to be 'undesirable' (to them !) if they keep bashing my friends ...

But, Yorick, what do you expect exactly by posting there ? You don't really believe they will change, do you ?

Memnoch !

I don't intend to post anything there that could cause problems - I think it is no use whatsoever, they won't change their attitude whatever I may say.

What I meant is, whatever precautions they undertake, it doesn't prevent 'undesirable' people to register !
