I don't think a PM will do much, Cyn. Whenever I get something impersonal, which would be the mass-new user-PM, I skip it over without reading or thinking about it. Maybe other people read the fine print, but I don't.
For an answer to the question to get people to register/post: instead of allowing non-registered users to see everything (all posts, new and old), would it be possible to limit them to see only the past few weeks active topics? That suggestion is for the non-registered users lurking around. A suggestion for the non-posters would be...well, that's a toughy. If they're registered and not posting, it's because they don't have anything to add (from their POV, at least). Would a PM or email encouraging me to post more actually get me to post more? Probably not, I'd say the chances are between zero and five percent.
