turning a set of forums on and off automatically?

[Mont]

if it's already here, I couldn't find it with a search, but I have a set of forums that need to have certain hours on and off. Via the admin cp, it's just a couple of clicks, but I would like to be able to do that automatically. TIA for any help on this.

I did that for my board.
I've got one form which is only visible from 0-6am, afterwards it disappears (visible=no, posting allowed=no) and all posts will be deleted (either soft or hard).

It does have settings in forum manager for the hours and soft/harddelete.

If you want I can write some instructions on how to use this.

KirbyDE, I would be most gratefull for those instructions. I need this set of boards to have regular business hours, just like a normal non internet business does.

This would be a great hack, I could use this for my sports site!!
