It would be better if it stopped new people from logging in temporarily until the number went down, now it just closes it to all except admin. Of course as soon as it closes it, the number goes down. is this possible to only allow a certain number on the Forum at a time?

Great, I'll give this a try. Was looking for something like that.

By user number, you mean online users? Does this means it takes the cookie time or some other value?

Also, if I have another mod installed which makes the forum available to some groups when it's closed, will these groups still be able to access the forum?

[I think if you're the one on the front of you avatar=yes, if you're the guy=no]

What are the ranks, or limits on the users for a thread?

Just what I've been looking for...
Going to install tonight. :)
Possible though to exclude other usergroups from this # limitation aside from just the Admin?

Is there anyway this hack can be changed to automatically close the forum at a certain time, for when I do my daily backups?
