We have several different levels of registration here in the forums.
As a Guest (non-registered Visitor) you can view many of the forums, threads and posts. You will see 2 columns of advertisements, one on the left and one on the right.
As a Registered Member, you can view all of the forums, threads and posts, including a couple private forums for higher ranking members. Active Registered members (5+ posts) do not see advertisements in the right hand column when they are logged in.
Ground Level Lurkers - newly registered (or inactive) members with very few posts have limited access to features & are unable to send Private messages. (This is for
prevention) .
