---- New Forum Members - What to Expect

Hi-

Two Qs.

I am planning to launch a forum for a site with high traffic (almost 10,000 people a day). To try to keep the surprises down to a minimum, I was wondering if I can predict how many members I can expect will sign up. What is the ratio of visits to members per month?

I may not require registration for the first month or so to get people posting. Eventually, I would like to have all posters sign on as members. How should I make this transition from no registration require to membership status without irritating people?

Your posts have been a valuable resource for me. Thank you all!
