I can tell you that registration, passwords, etc dry up a board. As evidence, Pennlive.com (it is owned by the Express-Times, Harrisburg Patriot and other newspapers in that group) had a Patriot League board, open to anyone. Like here, a few immature posters started posting stupid stuff and Pennlive required registation and passwords. No one has posted on it in months. There are people who have access to information who do not want their identity known. I think a better solution is the one employed by Gary on the Colgate site. After the Delaware debacle, a few Blue Hen fans became obnoxious and Gary blocked their access. I'm to stupid to know how its done, but I'm sure he would help you out.

I think registration would be a bad idea,many people from other sites and other teams like to post here and registration would make that a difficult process at the least. Keep it as it is and eventualy those poster who are here to only cause trouble will go away, ignore them and watch them vanish.
