Hosting Private Forums

[Zylantex]

Some members have asked for a private forum where they can discuss gaming tactics out of the public eye. I have no objection to this at all but I'm at a loss as to how to manage it. I know if I allow one more will be asked for over time so I need a handy procedure to manage this.

I'm thinking a special type of moderator usergroup which wouldn't have access to the main staff forum. They would have to be able to grant access to the forum / ban from the forum etc.

Any guidelines on how to do this or is there a plugin / mod that does this?

Many thanks,

Z
