Thanks for answering my question appreciate you time the qestion was important to me.

I will try to think of other ways to get them to register instead of forcing them.

Well...

1. If you are forcing users, you will make people leave, instead, think about how to encourage them, require them to register to access premium content, entice them to register, et cetera.

2. It's possible to integrate forums with overall site management, but not always worthwhile -- something like a content management system that has a forum embedded in it may be more economical.

3. Marketplace offers belong in the Marketplace forum.

4. I do think it's a horrible idea unless there is a clear benefit to the user. Just having them register? For what? What reason?!
