Why should I register and login?

... If we didn't use this sort of security then bad things could happen.

On the internet there are all sorts of 'wonderful' programs like robots (aka web crawlers or spiders). These are programs that search all of the web looking for web pages. When one comes across a website page, it will parse the page and usually performs some sort of archiving (it could be for a search engine, ala Google, for a web-archive service such as http://www.archive.org/, or it could be a spam-bot harvesting e-mail addresses). No matter where they hail from I don't want them here. All pages are dynamically generated pages on this website and therefore these robots could get caught in recursive loops, thus eating up bandwidth, possibly even crashing the server! We have employed many tactics to avoid this senario.

N.B. Many more functions are open to those who signup.
