Bookmark topic
thats the best part, you can read whatever you want in esat, and it is a very highle moderated forum, and ppl discuss, deabate, share personal opinion etc....
NO malware , CrackZ or other stuff, just plain tips tricks nad suggestions
but you do need to sign up to see the images in the forum ... you cant see the pictures posted without logging in...
naturally when ppl see that lots of ppl have got most of their queries answered here, non memebers will join to have thier queries solved.
PS: as a side note, you would see
www.expert-exchange.com come up in google searches, but i really hate that site, you can never know whats in there....

If I hadn't seen ESATO when I searched and bought a ringtone for my T300 I never would've joined the place so it is also a good source of income, it being open.
This message was posted from a S700

What a strange idea! A lot of people if they did get here via a google search and couldn't read any threads unless they joined would probably just close the window down and keep searching without a second thought. I bet new membership would drop right off!
Many people came here initially via a search engine (I did!) and don't think making this some kind of 'ringed community' would help.

Hmmm, this seems plain strange to me...i mean come on...if it wasn't an open forum...how would we all be here in the firts place...
I don't know about everyone here, but i certainly found this forum when experiencing problmes with my se handset...i searched for help, and along came esato.com....form there i realised how great a community this place actually is...
This forum is here to help everyone and should be open to view for everyone...

Well some topics or threads in this forum (like Spartan GPRS trick), etc are not safe to be open. This threads must be in member area. Without membership should not be given access.
When people search in Google or any other search engine then link to that topic and little description will be shown in search result. Then people who are interested in known more will definately join.
I personally feel, If I get little information on a topic from any forum when I search in google, then I will join that forum to get membership priveleges and access the topic fully.
I do agree open forum is good for new comers, but dont agree full access to general public without membership. Atleast some threads should be locked and only members should have access to it.
There must be something special for members so that it attracts more memberships.
And Member's should be allowed to load personal avatar's instead of just SE images.

Well there are special privelages for members.
Competitions
Advice
Sales
Trading so on and so forth.
I cant remeber why i joined esato, i think it was something to do with my k700.
Then i got more an more into discissions then videos now i have a site of my very own, so being a member allows you to participate in the forum, not just being a voyeur
.
I prefer it open if it werent i wouldnt know what i do today!
