Well even though that does drag members in, it also makes search engines not work as well. Maybe try something like Colonel Ingus' hack where only let guest see first post.

The only thing I'll hide from guest is the staff forums..
I want them to see everything else ;)
Maybe try just hiding attachments, or limiting the functions of the guest.. Such as search and like I said, attachments.


cheers

There's all kinds of different factors to consider but I choose to have mine hidden because I can afford to whilst still ensuring to the guest that the content on my forum is worth them registering at. How? well, in my case, I have posted at several active webmastering vB communities plus vbulletin.org so people know what to expect by registering at my forum.

Like I said, Different circumstances for different people. What might work for me or the average user, might not work for you and vice-versa. Experiment. that always works best, and if it fails, try again.
