I don't like the idea of putting anything behind a register wall. I've lost count of accounts I've registered with a name like IJustWantOneFile or NotHereForTheForum. All it does is make people begrudgingly register to get past the wall. I seriously doubt that it will increase the quality or the frequency of postings.
A good portion of the guests we see are from Google, likely with a programming or design question. They simply would not be here with a register wall.
