Release notes
This module was developed while working on client's site who wanted to keep site freely available for user only for limited time. So basically, anyone who wants to show site content for some limited time and then force users to register - could use this module.
For example, site providing reviews for some product category:
- User comes to site and browse all reviews available
- After 30 minutes he is redirected to page saying, that to continue browsing site he need to submit new review and register (this could be achieved with inline_registration module)
Another use - provide 'trial' period for new user to browse site and then ask them to register where they will need to pay for membership. The good point there - users do not have to register first to obtain 'trial' role. They obtains trial status right after they come to the site.
This time limit could be easily avoided by user, so this should be used on sites not relying heavily on this, but I believe 99% users will not bother with clearing cookies in order to get access to the site. And I believe this module will be used mostly on sites with free registrations.
Important part - search engines will crawl site freely since they do not store sessions and therefore all content from the site will be searchable in major search engines. So opposing to approach with registering user and giving him 'trial' role, in this case all content will be indexed by search engines.
