I have asked for this before. Its wonderful. Having used Infopop for 6 years and recently came here its something very much missed. I love VB but this use of private topics was much better.

Basically

You add people to a Buddy list, as many as you want.

You then choose 'Private Topic'

You choose people from your Buddy list you want to invite - (between 1 and many)

You can specify which users you invite can post or just read

You get notifed by e-mail when someone replies

Basically as stated its a Private discussion but in a forum threaded format.
It used to be great for mod discussions or discussions between certain users. I used it all the time. If say there was a fight between two members I would get them both in and faciltate a private thread discussion to resolve it.

But the users loved it. Much much better than the current private message
