Required registration is ok if I will benefit something from it.

I exit the website I’m on almost every time I see I need to register, its a huge pain when all I wanted to do was make a couple comments on one game.Or when I need to register just to play that simple text based game.

Registration is welcome if the content is good enough to support multiple visits and joining. It keeps spam down. Ravelry.com (as an example) requires registration and the forums there are some of the most civil I have ever encountered.
If the site doesn’t look worth returning to, though, I just pass on by.

I agree with the hate towards registering to view the content. I hate that. Why? Why do it. I don’t mind pop-ups so much because my firefox browser blocks them all.

Sorry I’m a month behind in my feed reading.

I don’t mind breaking articles or posts into multiple pages as long as it isn’t excessive.

Good: tech reviews with more than two products one product per page plus an intro and conclusion.

Bad: MSNs “top 10″ or 15 articles on whatever the subject is, its just a slideshow with one tiny graphic and a blurb of text, some have a print option and the longer ones usually make you go through every single page now they’ve started making the last “next” go to an ad or more of these silly articles. I can’t remember the last one I read through without the print option.

Also acceptable are long articles I figure if there are lets say 75 paragraphs I don’t want them all on one page as a reader, but do make the print option put them all back to one page so my printer can break them up without me having to click next and print repeatedly.
