Yes, it is. Why else would you put a 3-startup limit for non-registered users, and present them with a registration page? If the script is malfunctioning, turn it off. Maybe if I could actually see the content I would sign up, but since I have to sign up first, I guess I'll do what most others who are visiting your site for the first time are doing: Go away and never come back.

Startup Timelines was always made to be free and accessible, it didn't even ask you to create an account until last month (been running the site for a year now). I don't want anyone to be upset so I've quickly made an account you can use to browse if you've gotten this rogue error:
username: hn_user
password: startuptimelines1
(all accounts are full btw)
