Touchdown! Greaser!
There was some discussion in this thread about creating a "private" forum that's not indexed by Google; discussion centered around limiting access based on number of posts, etc.
Alternative: another forum I subscribe to has a similar feature, but in a way that, if applied here, would help support POA monetarily (for hardware/software/bandwidth upgrades, including paying Jesse back for his current hardware investment, as I think we are still in the red there). I know I'd fork over $20/year to support this site and gain access to a set of private paying-members-only set of non-indexed forums. I think there is already an "upgrade" feature here that gives you a larger avatar and inbox; it could be tied to that functionality... support the site financially, gain access to the "private" forums.
