Thank you for your post @MiS - I'll be stickying it.

Keep in mind I was one of the people who supported keeping the forum with closed registration, hon.

The thing is, people like the idea of a closed community, but they fail to understand the harsh realities of such a thing. If it were a closed community, we wouldn't have a lot of the people that currently make Sinisterly what it is, and we surely wouldn't have nearly as much activity. What people don't remember, is that the site started to die after it had been closed for a while. Invitation codes went unused, people got bored seeing the same people every day, and all in all it got old.As the owner, I have weighed the pros and cons, and as awesome as it might be to be closed off from the rest of the internet, we're not ready. We might be one day, but not today, and maybe not anywhere in the near future.
