Thanks @cowls.

My reasons for forcing Facebook login is to know more about my user in order to serve the relevant/personalize content. It's a chicken/egg situation...

I believe people would be less turned off if you showed them a glimpse of what's behind that wall, a pretty picture of a lake tells me NOTHING at all, even a screenshot (slightly blurred if you want) would go a long way towards letting me decide if it would be worth signing in. As it stands now the default reaction is 'nothing to see here, move along'.
hmmm... sure, I will a/b test out that...
