    A goodly percentage of those lurkers are bots I'm afraid, so we may not appreciate them having more of an input.

    However, for those of you who aren't ...

    There's a few forums around that won't let you look at pictures until you're a member. I guess it's one way to make the member list bigger, but it's really annoying.
