Darkside Car Tire Experience access

The Darkside Car Tire Experience currently requires access to a private group to both read and write to this section.

So the various search engines do not have access to the Darkside Car Tire Experience for searching.

If we would like the ability to search this section, then I would have to allow unauthenticated read access and restrict write access to the private group. Which would mean everyone would be able to read ... but not post.

Which would everyone prefer more

Ability to search Darkside Car Tire Experience (only posting with private group membership)

-OR-

Darkside Car Tire Experience would require private group membership for both read and posting

My preference... even tho' I'm not a "dark sider"... (still interesting):

Ability to search Darkside Car Tire Experience (only posting with private group membership)

What's the point of an open forum where a given subject is kept behind closed doors?

Given that this option is the lesser of two 'evils', I'll go with: "Ability to search Darkside Car Tire Experience (only posting with private group membership)"

+ 1 Ability to search Darkside Car Tire Experience (only posting with private group membership)"
