1) You dont have to be logged in to visit and read the forums.
2) Over 9000 of these threads already exist.

OVER 9000!!! Really, there are a lot of them, although they usually reside in the appropriately-named Beta Invite Discussion section.

GGG says most of the beta accounts are being used. We have no grounds to dispute that, especially by citing previous logins. People are notified via email when they get beta access, and most come back to play/test.

Locks and keys are not made for honest fingers.

Anyway aren't the keys sent by email?
So it's not really necessary to log in.

No keys get sent... you simply get moved to the access group and allowed in via the timer. But for the OP I proposed something similar... would take you to be physically logged into the site and viewing a page (browsing) at least.

There's ways around it. But then there's always ways around these types of things.

I think the best solution would be to simply re-inject the accounts which are beta certified in the pool when they did not play for a month or so. Doing so, they could decrease the timer to allow more people in. Also, those who did not log in the game for a month should simply have their beta status removed.

We are here to test a product, if you don't test it anymore for a month well I am sorry, but you do not deserve the beta member title at all.

We're talking about a month here, which is huge.

+1,also I think someone else suggested this but nothing happened.Anyway,could be nice.They only add 1 person per 25 minutes probably because of server stress and stuff,but when even 1/4 doesn't play...

Adding those accounts back to the selection pool would lower your chances of being picked. Why would you want that? Even if they reduced the timer to compensate, you still wouldn't have a much better chance of being picked on any given day. It would be far more favorable to suggest that they just reduce the timer and leave all the "inactive" accounts where they are.

Anyway, searching for a solution implies that there's a problem that needs solving, but GGG hasn't said this is a problem. They are getting the number of active testers they want, so who has the right to say the system is broken? After all, we're here to test a product, like you said. GGG must be content with the amount of testing and feedback that beta members are providing, or they would simply invite more testers.
