   That's a planned feature, but nobody else has asked for it that I can recall,   
   so I haven't gotten to it.  Should be easy enough to do poorly for starters.

   Depends on how the sysop has things set up.  If a given message area is   
   accessible to guests / anonymous users, then no account is required (for   
   reading anyway).  Maybe there's some conversion to registered users when people   
   want to post.

   There are quite a few out there using that web interface now, though I'm not   
   sure how many.  It's my own creation, but it's available to any Synchronet   
   sysop running a fairly recent version of the software.
