The idea of a guest forum occurred to me yesterday. By "guest forum" I mean that non-registered users may post. There should probably be restrictions on something like one post every ten minutes for non-registered users, and it probably would be more of a "General Forum" than having any particular specialty.
It could serve as something of a preview of what the rest of THW is like, for persons who may be debating whether to join or not. For those who would join anyways, it could get them joining faster.
I know that if a guest forum ever actually emerges, it will need much more refining than this, but the idea is a start. Yes, it will be vulnerable to flaming and trolling, but I doubt significant amounts of such people would manage to find their way onto THW.
