I have a question folks. It's a simple question, but I'd appreciate it if folks take a moment to consider it for a serious answer.
I'm not writing anything down to save here, but I certainly am making mental notes as I consider reverting the Fact CC web site back to it's old structure. The benefits to the change are a much faster and more responsive site in moving between pages and using content.
How important is it to people, in a site like mine or many similar ones that exist to index and display information of different sorts, to have a member login for the added personal features that brings? (anything from PM's to adding content through posts, to comments or other things). Is having a member account vs. just having everything that can be without individual login (the vast majority, to be realistic after all) that important?
Is being member based vs. no sign of a member system actually a turn off on an info type site like that? (Perhaps I'm concerned over a change that would actually be seen as improvement?)
...what I am doing here is getting a much better look at what takes resources and what doesn't in running a website. Using a CMS like Joomla has its place, and I'll use it on other projects. However, as I've come to find just HOW costly database cycles are in running 'site software' vs. just really good HTML pages, I'm finding myself wanting to pull clear away from any mySQL or database driven site structure unless a forum or other service is going to be a core part ..which it isn't on FCC.
Thanks for any feedback on how you see membership as a plus/negative from the user perspective?
