Just my $0.02......there is another site that now has that policy (or at least it did last time I checked). That particular site was the FIRST one I joined and actively participated in many years agp. And in fact, I was a moderator there for awhile.
One day a few months ago, after I had cleared my cache and deleted some cookies, I went back over there to see what was up. Lo and behold, suddenly, you couldn't get into the boards unless you were logged in.
And even though it would have only taken a few keystrokes to type in my username and password, I said "WTF!", left, and haven't been back since. For some reason, and I'm not sure exactly why, it just got my goat.
So, I DON'T think that is a good idea......
Carry on.........
