Default Testing New Forum Ideas...

Guys and gals,

Whenever you have a new idea for a forum (I get them like every other day ) and you'd like to 'test them out' rather than paying for a brand new license and domain name, etc.... what do you do?

I'd love to test out new skin with a new header and start the process on a forum by adding a couple of mods and then sit back and look at it to see if it works for me. But, I have my funds tied up at the moment and I'd rather not put the money out there if I'm not sure if it's an idea that is going to fly or that I know 'has legs'.

This would be blocked to be used only by me (.htaccess password for me only, would that work?) and it is ONLY for the purposes of seeing my new 'idea' working and seeing if it's something that I want to invest funds into. Could I create a subdomain and test out skins and mods there?

Any ideas on this? What can or should I do? What would you do?
