New accounts have a number of limitations, like you might have noticed, which they didn't have in 2008. They get lifted after a certain number of successful posts. That's the way to earn a regular account.
Guests can at least post in Forum Issues - for example, if they have problems registering an account. No idea about the other subforums. But there are sometimes still guest posters. Probably 'Offtopic' is also open for them (if their posts get approved). One disadvantage of guests is that they might not find their post again, if it has to be moved. Generally, I would recommend registering.
