Please let me know if you have any other suggestions as well.

This would be extremely helpful. I have a Parenting Board and they like their privacy but I don't want to drive away new members just because they can't see the forums. This add-on was a great compromise for me but I have had the issue that ppl can just clear cookies and start all over again so I've had to limit the open forums greatly. With this kind of update I could open up more forums and possibly attract more members.

Thanks for all of the work you've done on this btw, it's a wonderful add-on!
