I want to allow users to register when board set to offline?

How to do this??
I am pretty sure that there is no possible way to do this.
anyone else??
You can't do this without modifying files or creating a plugin.

Why would you want to do this anyway? By definition if your board is closed then users shouldn't be able to register.
i want it because guest see posts and close the site. So i am thinking to close the site everyday for 1 to 2 hours and show message register now to see posts.

Please don't tell me to use plugin which dont allow user to view threads.
I want to allow user to view threads but not all..

OR is there any plugin which blocks user to view thread after viewing 2 or 3 threads??
There are lots of those kind of plugin - look on the mods database, use the search terms.

However, most of those are cookie based rather than server side and a smart user knows how to handle that.
I found Max Post views guest
plugin

This plugin also blocks bots??
