Just curious; why do you have to be registered to post in the Arcanum Hints 'N Tips discussion, but not in the ToEE or Vampire ones?
it would make more sense if those were the only orums where you DIDNT have to be registered, so people didnt have to create an account just to ask a question.
You don't. As Sleek said, to my mind, it makes sense for people to pop in, ask a question and leave. If they want to stick around, they're likely to register anyway. If unregistered people posting crap becomes a problem in any of the forums, then it'll be changed. I just didn't alter the Arcanum Hints & Tips forum when I did it.
