I chose to suspend this account. I did so to protect ourselves from people uploading/posting inappropriate material and having not the faintest idea who the source is. Not (as many people may have assumed) to prevent people from accessing the public portions of our site/content/binaries/source. Au contraire, we've gone to great lengths to make anonymous access to all of these things available. Today we rolled out viewcvs which lets anonymous visitors browse our public CVS repositories.

In short we allow anonymous read access where we can, but users who want to post or otherwise contribute (write access) are required to register.
