Forum improvement - private kingdom forums -please-

[busyrobot]

It is good to have public forums for each kingdom, but it would really really help to have a private one too that only kingdom members could access.

Even if it was not tied to the kingdom database, but allowed section admins to manually add people then it would be okay.

Really, any private forum area system would be really good.

There have been lots of times where I want to ask people 'so and so wants to join has anyone heard if they are a scammer/etc' and it would really not work in a public forum.

The last thing I want is to ask that question and have 5 of the guys friends who are not even members flame it, along with a few kingdom enemies piping in how 'well that kingdom just sucks' to turn any conversation into a flamewar.

So - is there any way to add this feature? Lots of forums out there have them.

I know there are a few admin only areas, does this forum software support groups? I think it would really improve kingdom management to be able to have that feature.
