Guests (non-registered users) can view the forum but are unable to post.  If you don't have anything to say then why would you bother to register?
One of the most popular sections of the GWTW Forum has long been the Swap Meet.  A great place to sell old, seldom flown kites or to get great deals on used (gently flown) kites.  Only registered users can see the Swap Meet section, let alone wheel and deal.  1000's (literally) of kites have changed hands thanks to the Swap Meet.
There are several more benefits to being a registered user, but you'll have to join our little community to find out all the "secrets".

I like the Moonie nocks a lot, and they are probably the way to go on P100s, but I've used a more durable solution on Std frame kites. A .2400 Avia safety nock with a short section of .2400 pultrude tube as a ferrule. Very strong, but a bit heavi9er and a bit more hassle. Very clean looking too.

 On a whim I bought the Tri-S kite from Thief.   The kite has wrapped spreaders and pultruded  leading edges. 8' wingspan and seems like a shallow sail. Later on I found a few P100's in a bag and thought about a reframe but couldn't find nocks; they may be in the parts box wherever it may be.  I Googled Tri-s Kites and found Tri State Kites Sales who now sell ultralight aircraft. Maybe I'll inquire as to when the kite was made.  Thanks for the info..

You can also use the Prism E3 or Zephyr knocks.  I think these are the same as the Moonie nocks..if not the same they are very similar.
