Why is it becoming members only to view, could somebody please explain (to appease the cynics amongst us!)? :ayatollah:

How do I make it work really ? Is my NTLNetguard thing preventing me ?

Any way , I got a few double choc chip ones now , so maybe it'll change ?

I have always wanted it can't see a problem myself

And , I have no problem with being needed a member to view. In fact I agree with it. If you want to post or even just view then take a few minutes of your time to register because Carl's updates are worth it (and I'm sure it takes him a lot of time to compile them - so take a few minutes of yours!!!)

I do want my comp to log me in automatically tho

I voted YES even tho I just read more often than post. I think we should all log in , just want my puter to do it auto.

Why shouldn't we take a little time registering ? We all benefit !

The Members, now there's a blast from the past..

I don't give a shit what you do guys, it's your board, an excellent board with many diverse characters but as it relies on people giving up the own personal time to "look after" it then its up to the them. I for one could not make enough time to assist in the running of the board but, as non UK resident (don't worry Fish I'm not a muslim, worse,I'm from Brecon :D ) I rely on the info from here to keep me in touch with the famous Cardiff City.

Mikes board used to be the dog's bollox for all things CCFC but unfortunately the PC lefty fuckwit lot took the board so now its gone to shit. Not Mikes fault at all, he'd have to have sat up 24 hours per day 365 days a year to keep it straight.

Why not have a "Members" area then the rest of the site can be "free".

I'm off to smash up empty buildings, shit in the road and give old people a hard time, christ I'll even go on strike if the AMB becomes "exclusive"

LOCKED SO ONLY MEMBERS CAN VIEW :roll: :roll: :roll:

If you read the next end of the sentence you will see it says: "His Updates Will Only be able to Viewed if your a Member."

So again I ask, Did anyone say no new members would be allowed??? NO!

To ask another way, what's the obsession with people registering? Why do you want people registered who won't bother posting anyway?

Seems like a case of making rules just for the sake of it, what about people who view for a number of different places? It becomes a pain in the logging in all the time, really seems pointless to me. I know I've gone to look at other clubs boards and they've needed registration and I've then thought f**k it I can't be arsed and just left their site. I expect many will do the same here.

Can see the logic behind this, though I rarely log on as I mainly view the forum whilst at work. Keep up the good work. If forum does become members only I'll just have to log in!!

I log in from a few places, typing in Claire and then my password isn't difficult or time consuming!

I joined this messageboard when it was members only, so just don't see the problem.

Well it's certainly not easier than not having to login.

Also you didn't answer the question about why the obsession with making people signup? These same people will signup once and never post, so what real benefit is it? Added to that people who only view once every now and again will forget their passwords/usernames and just not bother reading. Like I say it seems like making a rule for the sake of it, I'm yet to see one decent reason to make it members only.

No one is making people sign up though! they either will or won't!!!

As for the "obsession", I don't have one! I was not part of the discussion on deciding whether to make it members only, I have been in Uni all day, and came home to see this thread, with MEMBERS moaning about having to be a member when they already are one!

The 'obsession' comment is more a general one and not aimed at you personally. Do you think the fact that people will either signup or they won't is a good argument? Personally I don't.

Why are people trying to exclude other fans, I simply don't get it. The reason members may have a disagreement against it, is because we all have friends who aren't members but are Cardiff City fans, I can't understand why anyone would want to exclude them from reading about a football club that belongs to none of us, but we all support.

But nobody is excluded, ANYONE can join!

The will or won't comment was aimed at you saying people were being made to join, no one is forcing them to.
