I have started working on this. Like others have said it's a lot of effort...and probably won't be a free project, sorry.
So far I have done one php file, 3 plugins, 8-10 phrases, one new database column, one new template, and one template edit. It may also require 2 or more actual file hacks (something I overlooked before) because of security issues -- like forum searches and forum archives showing "private" threads when they aren't supposed to.
Also, feel free to post suggestions in this thread about access permissions. Right now, I have it set so that admins and mods can view protected threads by default...everyone else would need the password. The thread starter will have an additional option to request his/her password via PM in case it becomes lost or forgotten.
A semi-working version should be done within the next day or two (no promises though). Anyone who is interested in this when it's completed can PM me to discuss a rate for installation. I'll be happy to work one at a time with those of you who want this addon, but will most likely not be able to release and/or support it publicly.
