I have always had the talk pages on my own wiki
(http://alien.slackbook.org/) open to any guest. This caused some
vandalism but that was easily solved by a revert and an update of the
blacklist.

So, for now I will keep the talk pages open to anyone. We can always
change this, but I would really like to keep the site as accessible to
strangers as possible.
