The most active sections are members only.

Guests can see some forums, this enables them to get a "trial" of the site before registering to see the rest of it.

But it also allows google spiders etc to index some of the site. If every section was members only, the spiders would not work and we would not rank very highly in the search engines. I havent checked for a while, but we were doing very well on search engine results, #1 on goodle for fruit machine forum etc.
