Locking some boards

haha BF. you can't lock your thread, but i can! na i dunno how you can hide it to members only. but maybe c0ld can change it so it says something like "to view these discounts. please register" i dunno.

I disagree with that personally... the openness of this forum is major factor that helps it grow...

I second that to Daedal

Things, I was at first thinking along the same lines, that we have to be good stewards of the Forum discounts we've been given, but Gazoo had a really good point.

Things,
I would bet that over 90% of the people using the forum discounts are either already members of this forum, or will register once they order and/or receive their product. Most people have questions before and after the sale, and this will give them a reason to register for the forum.

So the way I see it is the companies who have given us discounts are paying for advertising. It's another place where someone might see their name, and it's because it keeps us talking about them.

As I said above, I was concerned that as you described, someone could wander by use the code and never return. And that it isn't fair to the company who trusted us the code.
But it is fair to them, as that company might have never made that sale at all.
