If Xpats have made the registration procedures a bit more stringent, we might be down to zero.
Bulletin boards have "register" features in order to filter out undesirable or un-moderated postings. Registration discourages dishonest and unethical posters from advertising on the site and from exploiting registered members. Very few bulletin boards offer free for all postings for this reason. If you want to publish an un-moderated discussion forum for everyone here then you can easily do so. The problem is it will be of poor quality. Personally I am sick of reading these pointless statistics, what are you trying to achieve?
