Well, on our team website the login is critical for the permissions system. If we didn't have team logins, anyone could upload images to our team gallery, post news stories to the front page, steal contact information, planning for robots, sponsorship requests, or muck up the entire website. Our team site is entirely administered through a web-interface so a login system is critical for security reasons. I see no reason that logins hurt the team. We are actually working on a system that you clock-in and out while at the meetings to get a better idea of who and how long members are active. Personally, I think that logins, while they should not be required to view a site, can actually strengthen the team bonding during off season as they don't just forget that everyone else exists for the other half of the year.
