I just thought of something. Todd, do you have any stats on NNTP usage?
Can you tell how many members vs non-members use NNTP? If the number of
non-members using NNTP is low, maybe just make NNTP a "privilege" of
membership.
I'm against the authentication. I use NNTP almost exclusively and probably
always will. It's just too much easier (at least for me) to just let
everything come to me in one click and then read at my leisure offline or
online.
