I like the idea of limiting guests to a certain number or percentage of on-line members, but I don't think you will see that happen. This forum generates revenue by advertising like any other forum on the internet. If you limit the number of guests, you limit the number of potential customers for the advertisers...so they pay less money, the forum generates less revenue to the point where it's not sustainable etc.
Maybe restricting guest would cause more people to join, maybe it wouldn't...who knows. Unfortunately with a free forum, we're stuck with leeches.
