I agree with you on this, they got themselves into a catch-22 situation by deciding not to make most of their subs publicly available. To broaden the fanbase there need to be some easily accessible material for the neophytes, but in order to get it you must spend time posting on the forum before being granted access even though you know very little about the subject.
With that said, I understand there's a reason behind this behavior.
Stage48 does the same, but it's because their private section is stocked with Live On Demand videos, whose free distribution is supposedly prohibited.
