think you _should_ have to sign in to post via the web interface.

My vote would be to keep Lugnet a place where you can post from any interface
without paying for a membership.  There are a lot of people (myself included)
who won't pay for a membership without trying a place out first.

Then implement a username/password system that doesn't require a
membership but can accomodate one.

Pretty simple, just have a membership field in the record.  People who
are just trying it out can read and post, but not access member-only
features until they've paid for a membership.
