Brilliant hack. Just what I've been looking for. Do you have any suggestions as to how to set up the forum permissions, ie, what "parent" the dorm system should have, and what permissions the "parent forum" should have??? If you do not assign a "parent" to the dorm system, threads will just show up on the main forum index page.

I created a forum category which is not active and not visible. I use that as the parent of the dorm hack system. This way, dorm functions and threads are not visible on the forum index page. You access my dorm area, which I use as a secret area, via a navigation bar link. So far, it keeps everyone out, unless they've been invited. The general public can't even see activity within it. I think....

Any ideas would be welcome.
