Maybe you guys have some good reasoning behind it, but it seems that most every other forum I've been a part of makes their off-topic sections only visible to active members. I'm sure it's a big draw for revenue, but a lot of stuff that goes on in TLR is probably best left inaccessible to the general public. I'm sure the number of trolls and possibility of an attack against the site or even some of its members would be considerably reduced as a benefit. It might also be easier to bring in more advertising income if it were presented more as a strictly, hip-hop, sports, and entertainment oriented site.
