I hate to derail this, but why exactly do I need to register an account to read the forums?
I understand that literally everybody that uses Dropbox has an account... but I don't, and therefore I can't learn about this app (or other things real users are saying about Dropbox).
More importantly, Google can't index it. I put in a few sample searches ("dropbox cache", "dropbox can't establish secure connection"[1]) and Dropbox didn't show up in the top few results.

The dropbox forum (which I'm staring at as I write this) seems to be mostly an informal bug/feature request tracker, with a few notes of appreciation thrown in. It doesn't seem like any of the posts would really be useful for anyone who doesn't have an account. Most of what people "are saying about Dropbox" doesn't go on the [relatively unknown] internal forum, but rather into public sites that mention it—like this thread :)
