Here's a summery of points everyone eventually gets to during these discussions, listed here so newcomers can get a general idea of why some folks tend to get a little defensive about the subject...

* No one has objected to setting up an opt in access system, and so one has been setup using either SSH or HTTP and the Noisebridge network.

So it comes down to this, if you'd like to setup an access system at Noisebridge, make it so it's opt in without affecting anything else that's been previously setup. Keeping the physical key system constant and functional makes pretty much most members happy, as well as the owner and the other tenants. Also asking users for creative input on making a opt in system functional and fairly sure via the list is a good idea, but don't expect to only get positive input about something.
