I agree with your priorities. I see no need to let guests post or give thanks without logging in (due to spam/accountability issues).
There are some sites that I visit that allow subscribers to login by using their Facebook or Google account credentials (but still have an independent account at that site). I don't use these features because I don't want a break-in at Facebook or Google to give a cracker access to my accounts on other sites, but I won't object if you want to allow users to create a login at the UNIX & Linux Forums that can be logged into by giving a Facebook userID and password or a Google userID and password and you don't think it will compromise the UNIX & Linux Forums site security.

curlopt_connecttimeout
CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT(3) curl_easy_setopt options CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT(3)
NAME
CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT - timeout for the connect phase
SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, long timeout);
DESCRIPTION
Pass a long. It should contain the maximum time in seconds that you allow the connection phase to the server to take. This only limits the
connection phase, it has no impact once it has connected. Set to zero to switch to the default built-in connection timeout - 300 seconds.
See also the CURLOPT_TIMEOUT(3) option.
In unix-like systems, this might cause signals to be used unless CURLOPT_NOSIGNAL(3) is set.
DEFAULT
300
PROTOCOLS
All
EXAMPLE
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "http://example.com");
/* complete connection within 10 seconds */
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 10L);
curl_easy_perform(curl);
}
AVAILABILITY
Always
RETURN VALUE
Returns CURLE_OK
