We have far more readers than members. Our members are precious to us and we want to use the chance for privacy too. Certain areas are only available to members and many members prefer to write their problems or their opinions in our private area. We are not just a forum but a community and feel responsible for each other (at least the majority of us).
Nothing against curiosity though, the public areas of the forum should be enough, unless you really want to post, ask questions, contribute to the community in what way ever. The precondition to stay in the forum is to comply with the rules.
