But certainly before we made such a radical change we'd like to know what the rest of the community thinks. If most of the people on this site strongly reject this idea, I'll keep deleting spam. What are your thoughts?

I think this is a bad idea. I think we want new people joining that possibly no one here has ever met. The way it is now even without it being invite only it is intimidating to new people that are not closely knit. In talking to people they already feel like it is a group of a few certain people and if they are not in that particular group then they don't feel comfortable joining and posting. This seems to go against what I understand to be the whole purpose of the site. Just my two cents....for what it's worth.
