New User...Bad First Impression!

vreug · 08-19-2003, 09:48 AM

I came here to see if this was a forum I could enjoy. I wanted to check out it's usefulness so I registered and I did a search on a topic of interest to me.

To my diappointment I find that over half of the links presented from my search are unavailable to me.
You have made a less than wonderful first impression. I wonder how many potential users/posters are turned off by this, as I am, and never come back, as I may.

Not sure why you opened another thread on this matter since it has been discussed elsewhere on this forum (and yes, it is accessible also for you). Have a look here.

Furthermore I have carefully listened to users' expressed doubts about our restriction policies and I think I made it clear that it is quite easy to receive access.
