The idea of freedom has evidently left for good this forum.

And (I think) if you have a "kind-hearted" ISP providing a new IP at every login taking out a random one from the large pool of IP addresses, this limit can be stretched far more....then I was forced to register or sign in.
File hosting sites like rapidshare/megaupload can be befooled this way.

We get heavily indexed by web page scrappers and this measure reduces the daily bandwidth consumption while ensuring that our site is not an attractive resource for automated sites that scrap our contents.
And personally, I like when members login. That gives an idea about who is visiting the site instead of just seeing a thousand anonymous guests that are just numbers and nothing else.
20 page views is intended for the casual user that comes from a google search or other reference link. Frequent users are logged inside the site in either case to participate.

The idea of freedom is different from both "opportunities" and your (or anyone else) "preferences".Mind you, there is nothing "right" or "wrong" in your current approach, it is simply far from what is commonly thought as "freedom", besides being clearly contrasting with the availability of "bugmenot" accounts.And personally, I like when members login.

As to the problem of registering on Reboot site, I don't think its significant enough. Because most novices end up on this site similar to me - when they have a sudden problem and are looking for a quick fix. Because shear number of posts here is impressive, at some point a novice would have to open a thread and start asking questions to get closer to his issue resolution. I remember, that's how I met first with one Sanity guy here. So, for the sake of efficiency (at times this site is out of reach) its not that bad to ask for a Registration at some point. Plus one should always keep an eye on browser's Clear Cache Button to bit the odds.
