A better way to get help is to edit your subject so it is something meaningful. 'How to Change login requirements for PHPBB2' might draw in someone who knows about it rather than relying on luck that person is going to click and read posts with desperate titles. But alas I'm not that person either.

I run phpbb3, but I believe the permissions sets are close enough to the same. You should be able to accomplish this through the admin panel. "anything that a registered user can do" isn't going to work, nor is "registered=guest." Because a guest does not have a set account, he or she cannot access the user control panel to change things like their avatar and signature.

Again, it may be slightly different for phpbb2, but you should be able to set guest permissions to view, post, start topics, etc on a per-forum basis in the admin control panel.

I think this is a bad idea. Your forum is going to be flooded with SPAM if you open it up completely.

True, but it won't necessarily be bot spam. You could pretty easily add in a captcha challenge.
