I would advise against that.

Keep in mind, most of the activity being created is forum activity and banter. I can name off several of these "new users" that have only contributed to the Naruto Discussions board, and of those, I've already had to ban one for vandalizing the wiki because he got a little peeved that his opinion was disagreed with. Additionally, there was a second user (another who solely contributed to the forums) banned for going off about how he thought the forums should be run, and then decided to go on a vandalizing spree himself.

That's not good statistics. Not sure if that is the kind of activity we want to attract.

I still stick to my points above. I think that is the best compromise for both sides.

Edit: I'd also like it on the record that while, yes, that thread has generated a couple hundred replies, half of those replies can literally be summed up with "I hate Sasuke for no other reason than I want to bitch about him", and the other half can be summed up with "You're bias for hating Sasuke for [insert reason here]." Again, not sure if that is the activity we want to encourage.
