What use is a private topics forum?

I imagine you will in time. Off the top of my head, you could use it for:

- Keeping details of a trade without using your PM's.
- Having a discussion between a select group of individuals.
- Stalker's convention


It lets you choose who will be able to view the thread, and all but eliminates the chances of a post getting out of hand. Fewer, if any, trolls, whiners, etc. Also, given that it would be impossible to moderate these private topics, I imagine the guidelines on what exactly you could post would be a bit relaxed as well.


Hmm, might it become a subscriber-only feature?
 
I haven't seen/used this forum, but can you just restrict certain people instead of goign through the hastle of just adding a bunch of people?

I suppose the moderators have left a backdoor for themselves so they can still access private topics.

Anybody wanna see for sure? 😉
 
I'm sure they can have FT dump the entire message board into a text file and do searches. VB does this. 🙂

I wonder how many people talk to themselves!!! 😀
