Not surprising at all. Unless you have the gravity of a social networking site or a large forum, requiring account creation is a sure way to drive people away. They won't register on weblogs and the other asteroids floating through the web. If you want comments from anyone else than the relatives you'd prefer weren't reading you, you generally need to allow anonymous comments. > If you want to have a website with some kind of discussion > board, you need some kind of authentication.
