In today's day and age, having the access locked until you do something is annoying so I choose to not use the site.
There is plenty of Pantera content out there on other sites like this one, like PanteraPlace, like banzairunnerpantera that I don't feel like I am missing much.
I would likely use it if it had open access like all other Pantera sites...
