As noted, I do not believe Off the Wall to be a "shame", but we have
considered limiting it to registered users for purely practical reasons,
primarily as a means of limiting the appeal of the forums to spammers.
Making it accessible only to those who have logged in does not remove
its value as a social area while it would keep crawlers, for spam bots
and search engines alike, out.
