It's better now, but it still reminds me of a textbook in the sense that it's clear the textbook knows what it's talking about, but its author wasn't a writer.
What do you think of my download suggestion?

It's better now, but it still reminds me of a textbook in the sense that it's clear the textbook knows what it's talking about, but its author wasn't a writer. What do you think of my download suggestion? What do you mean? I admit I'm not a writer, but are the rules not clear? That's what I'm most concerned about with the rules. About the downloads, I actually would want to take a different approach. Rather than someone register, beg, and then we give it to them, I would want more people to actually participate in the forum and after X number of good posts (probably 20 or something), then the link is distributed. I'm looking into code that will automatically send a PM after a certain number of posts. Hopefully this way, more people get involved in the forums. Or at the very least, after a certain amount of time after they register, they also get the PM. What I'm trying to avoid is people registering at 1:08, posting "how do I watch 25?" at 1:12, and the link is given to them at 1:17. Then, they are never seen again on the forums. I realize that some people just don't ever want to post (we have lurkers who have been here since day 1 and still visit daily). I just don't want all these people coming just for the link.

Nah, the rules are clear enough. They're just a little rambly. Better than before, though.
Tons of people are gonna come just for the link no matter how many hoops you put up. They'll just jump through them, get the downloads and leave or, even worse, not bother registering at all. I know that when I need to go through a lot of BS just to download something, I leave the site. It's not worth it. I think that if you're going to give out the downloads, you should make them easily accessible and available for everyone. I understand that the links can't be right there in the open where everyone can see them, but come on. It's a little late to be worried about people registering just to download stuff, don't you think? It's been happening for a long, long time around here. It happens on my site too. And tons of others.
And what do you mean about begging and giving them things? With my method, the forum would be open to all registered members. If you're logged in, you can see it. Any requests at that point can be ignored/locked because that person apparently can't read.
