I think that's really an exception, a "retired webmaster" can't be compared with an average surfer, hair splitting, but I don't really see a reason to ban surfers anyway.

The surfer just looking for free porn won't register an account and can still surf the board without anyone noticing it. Those who register may be interested in becoming a webmaster, probably part time to start with, but why exclude those who potentially can make you, me or anyone else here some money ?

Closing the board for the general public is a bad idea, many webmaster may not want to post here, but still read the board, click your sigs, etc...without wanting to make an account.

So, the damage done by surfers reading webmaster talk, which will bore most of them after a day or even much earlier, is neglegtable to the loss of silent "read only" webmasters or potential webmasters.
