Hiding from customers, intended or not, rarely sends a positive message.

Given the number of people who've been requesting guest read-only access 
to the forum (not to mention the self-evident benefit of doing so), if 
the plan is to keep those forums around for a while it would seem 
reasonable to expect guest access in place as soon as could be 
conveniently done.
