A very good work! Thanks!

I didn't seen many English speakers interested in, it's a pity!

[Mardixuran]

As long as the forum is closed, that's not surprising. How does making it read-only for unsuscribed users attract spam? I know of no other conlanging forums doing that, thus was I able to read a lot without having to subscribe.

[webmistusik]

The forum is not closed but it's necessary to log in to read and write in.

The spam is a very unfair problem. Quite twenty spammers each day!
For instance:


If somebody is curious and a little interested, accounting is not a problem. When I see on social networks some or some group (without real interest) with 1,000 or 10,000 followers, the problem is not this.

[Mardixuran]

Of course one cannot write if not logged in, but why does spam make it necessary to prevent mere reading?
To subscribe to a forum is quite another affair than following an FB page (and the latter is part of an ecosystem of interconnected pages that can pop up in "suggested groups", while a forum is more isolated). No wonder anglophones are turned off from a closed place that seems to be only in French (for they cannot see that a majority of interactions are in Kotava itself, a state of affair that should speak favourably to us!)
Or are some forum interactions not fit for the general public?

I have just allowed the reading of all the subjects to the ordinar visitors. We'll see, but I strongly doubt that it increases the true interest of english speakers.
