I was thinking today about the possible implications of imposing restrictions on certain sections of totse to only allow access to members. So in theory we restrict access to say 'ego' and 'science' or whatever, they probably dont bring in much traffic in from search engines so the number of incoming visitors isn't affected. Visitors will be annoyed that they just cant view those sections and be compelled to sign up to see whats going on. The same could also be done with S&A just whack a '18+ only' note on it and restrict access to members only, visitors will be intrigued and sign up; once they do their only one step away from making a post.
What do you guys think about this idea?

So you don't see how it would be beneficial to actually provide an incentive to sign up? Disregard the sections I mentioned before; how would it hurt locking down an internal based discussion area i.e. a area containing trivial information that only members would find interesting.
