I was looking at the other thread suggesting the idea of removing guests which is somewhat of a good idea, however I think another addition to that suggestion should be made.
My ideas are the following:
This will encourage members to become regular members of our forum without placing too much strain or requirements on them. It is so easy to get involved and all it takes is a sentence or two per post commenting on a photo in the mapping section or helping in the support section, even in other sections like RL Tibia and Graphics. By doing so we are exposing them to our forum and encouraging them to post, and to be honest I think we need to see more active members.
Another thing we need to start doing is more staff-hosted events where members can win prizes such as premium subscriptions and whatnot for contests. By having official contests we can also encourage these members to participate.
Feel free to add more ideas or to modify the ones posted here, I'm all for supporting this forum so don't be afraid to leave feedback and discuss!
Sincerely,

My ideas are the following:
Allow guests to remain, but in order to see any pictures, any links or any videos and whatnot they have to register as a member.
Only allow them to view 5 threads before being forced to create an account.
Members must then post 5 times per 10 views in the download section.
After a member gets over a certain number of posts, requirement decreases (ie. 5 posts for 100 views after 75 posts).
If a member has not posted in 24 hours redirect the member to a message that encourages them to get involved with the forum
