The simple fact of the matter is that requiring visitors to register to view the forums will not stop people. They just sign up anyway. Also, if a non-
pua searches for
PUA stuff online they will sure as hell find it. There is no point restricting ourselves in a futile attempt at limiting the public's exposure to the
PUA world. They have all already read the best-selling book 'the game'.
While locking up the forum is often in the interests of current members, who are 'already in', we have to think of all of the future PUAs out there yet to find us.
I have been a member on invite-only forums in the past and I was very happy for them to stay locked up. If I hadn't got in when I did, I would had the opposite view.
