I would like to see this forum open to mlukfc members only. It is after all the mlukfc website.
Make it a "perk" of being in the fan club and this would encourage more people to become members. And that way everyone would be making a financial contribution to the running of the site.
Also, I think it would help to reduce "problem posts" as only genuine fans would be willing to pay to join the fan club and genuine fans are less likely to be making unfair criticisms. I'm not saying that you can't be a genuine ML fan if you're not a member of the fan club - that's obviously ridiculous. But I think the majority of fans who want to participate in this forum would be happy to join the fan club to enable them to do so, if they're not already members.
This could be achieved by mlukfc members applying to Mike for a password to be able to post here.
