Oh, just noticing "European" in the thread title -- does that mean there's more to come?

PERIODICALLY - we take the forum private for a few days or weeks at a time in order to drive up or get people to sign up as new members and I also do some maintenance during these days as well.  Sometimes it gets a few new members and sometimes it doesn't so it's kinda a crap shoot unless you have better ideas?  As you may notice we get hundreds of lurkers but almost no new members - and you might notice they look at the threads but only contribute views which to me is fairly useless.

Hm.  This seems like a bad idea to me.  It seems more likely to drive anonymous lurkers (who might later convert into active members) away than to convince them to create an account.  I know that I've often lurked/read on forums for weeks or months before signing up because I had something I wanted to post.  I'm not sure there's anything a forum owner could have done that would have changed that timetable, but if the anonymous access I had been using had mysteriously(*) gone away, I probably would have just stopped reading the forum instead of signing up.
I think the best you could hope for is to convert some anonymous lurkers into logged-in-but-not-posting lurkers.  Is that really any significant difference? 

(*) As regards "mysterious" -- if you continue this practice, it'd probably be a good idea to add some kind of explanation to the "access denied" page that's currently displayed.  I'd go with something like "We're limiting the board to members only for the next few days to lower the bandwidth requirements/server load while we do some maintenance.  We'll be back for public viewing on <date>"

It appears this forum has been turned private -- as in, you can't view any part of it if you don't have an account, and log in to it.

Was that intentional?  I'm pretty sure it wasn't that way when I signed up -- I never would have bothered to sign up if I hadn't been able to browse anonymously first.

ABOUT: Vision Video is a post-punk goth rock band from Athens, Georgia that injects modern malaise into classic sounds of the late 70's and 80's.

The band pays homage to classics like the Chameleons and The Cure, while also bringing a refreshing modern element to the genre.

Thematically their music explores the effects of trauma on the human psyche and finding stability and agency in an insane world. Having served in Afghanistan with the army and as a firefighter in the civilian world, lead singer and guitarist Dusty Gannon is no stranger to the darker proclivities of humanity and death itself. "I wanted to write music that helped people remember that it's okay to not be okay, but that also doesn't shy away from taking a stern look at the darker aspects of our flawed human existence." says Gannon.

The band's first two records were met with much critical praise, such as that from Pitchfork stating they create "dreamy tune tailor-made for the sort of wallflower who sprints to the dancefloor the instant the DJ drops “Age of Consent” or “Primary” at Goth Night"

Their debut LP "Inked in Red" and second LP "Haunted Hours", were recorded and mixed by Tom Ashton of The March Violets at his Sub Von Studios in Athens, Georgia.
Vision Video will soon record their next LP "Modern Horror" at Maze Studios in Atlanta headed by Grammy award winning producer Ben Allen.

Uh... okay.  would have posted my response publicly, but I saw the PM first.  Not gonna bother retyping it, and can't seem to find "sent messages" so I can copy-and-paste, but I do think this makes more sense as a public discussion, in case anyone else wants to chime in.

Would be cool if there was a switch I could flip (maybe in my account settings) to switch videos to be links instead of embeds.  When I'm not interested in videos, but I'm just looking for conversation, embedded videos mean scrolling through dozens of pages/screens of stuff-I'm-not-interested-in.  Also, if/when I'm on a slow connection, the page would load a lot faster that way.

(I'm sure that's really easy; just a few lines of code to write, right?)
