If I'm reading you correctly though, when things get worked out the forum will go back to everyone being a 'guest'...without user names?
If so, that's a shame, because for a brief period...it was actually becoming civil there.  |
Several years ago there was a political forum on TOTV with regular user IDs. And the political forum was visible to all, IIRC. It was discontinued because of the nastiness sme posters exhibited. But, IMO, the primary reason was that the vitriol spilled over onto the main board. Posters with opposing political beliefs would respond to each other in non-political threads with snide, political posts that highjacked the thread. So, it disappeared.
There was a lot of clamor for the return of a political forum and what we have now is the result. I guess hiding it was done to satisfy those who wanted it gone, and using guest ID was to reduce spilling over into other threads.
