just wondering, so things like the Anandtech UT2K4 server, (and other games) can only see the pw if your subscribed, im sure ppl will let others know it, but this is more of a deterrent. im sure it could be used for other things, such as hosting files, so your bandwidth doesnt go get destroyed, etc.

just wondering if possible, or available, or gunna happen?

This was already done with the Private Forums, but they were removed because of warez/porn abuse.

no, you had to be invited to those, im talking ANY MEMBER can view them but outsiders cannot.

I assume they are trying to limit those that can connect to the server.

yea, it would take out those MILLIONS of ppl who view. sure lurkers can view it, but the ones who arent registered, and dont know it exists, they wouldnt know about it at all.

I think that's a great idea, and maybe something along the lines of the private forums but not to that extreme
