.
The 2 guys that worked on setting the site up thought about how to make people register or not. The problem we kept coming up with was, if the site did get big, how would people be able to find their post. They wouldn't be notified if someone was able to shut down the ebay auction, or help them. People obviously can post problems, like ebay ID theft, etc.
If they register, they can get an instant email notice back from us. If they don't, they would have to figure out a way to sort through the site. It was an issue we fought over to begin with. For right now, we're making people register. But obviously it doesn't cost anything.

Yah, we have been pretty happy so far with the turnout of views. People obviously are interested in the site, and the average # of pages clicked per visit is at 19 pages right now.
So people are reading the info.
