Big-board Admins - do you think this section should be private?

Would big-board admins prefer this section to be private and only be seen by big-board admins and vborg and vbcom staff?

By big boards I mean those listed on big-boards.com (or those that qualify to).

I won't start a poll because non-big-board owners will vote ().

Personally I think big-board admins would be willing to share more if they new this section was private.

Please post your thoughts along with your url if you are not a well known Big-Board admin.

1) The description for this forum is about "running large vBulletin forums", nothing about being a Jelsoft sponsored support forum for Big-Boards.com or those associated with it.

2) There is already a private support forum for Big Board sites at TAZ.

With all due respect that wasn't the question - the question was would big-board owners prefer this section to be private or not.

Considering that this forum isn't a big-boards support forum, then who cares what they prefer. With all due respect of course.

Big board admins care - because it's them who the section is aimed at, it's them who are invited to post in here, and frankly, without them there would be no such section.

I don't believe this should be made private. If enough big board owners feel like they would like a private board, someone should start one and PM invitations. After all it should not be hard for someone to find a bit of extra room and that prevents a lot of problems for Jelsoft

Can you give us your reasoning behind making this section private? How does your everyday Joe reading this section harm it? What would be said in here if it were private that would not be said otherwise?

Personally, if I were a big-board admin (which I am not), I'd rather have it open to the public than closed off...I'm sure there are many server admins out there who are FAR more knowledgeable on technical aspects than the vast majority of big-board admins.

As a big-board admin, I see no point in making this area private. Sites with less than a million posts may still be experiencing the same resource issues as a big-board admin and can still benefit from the information in this forum.

And as mentioned, we already have a private area on TAZ.
