Guests V Members

[Old Croc]

I notice we always seem to have an extraordinary number of guests using the forum in relation to signed on members. (see example)

Is this ideal? Should there be some method to ensure, or at least encourage, people to become members, and sign in? Or doesn't it matter and no one else gives a stuff?

There could be a simple explanation here.

I am a member but, unless I actually want to make a post, I often don't bother to sign in and therefore appear on the list as a guest. I suspect that this is common amongst other members also.
