[Suggestion] Closed Forum Pages

Pretty simple idea. I think it would be nice to have forum pages locked all but specific players. They would be invisible to everyone who is not a member of the topic, and only the person who made the topic would be able to add members. (Or it would be people who are made 'leaders' of that forum page).

This would allow massive realms to have a private page, where all of its members (or at least most) can participate in a kind of group chat.

Any feedback or improvements would be greatly appreciated.

Unnecessary.

Use party chat in game or start a skype chat room for your faction/group/realm.

Both NTC and Ceteri have private Skype chat rooms.

TC has Skype chat rooms, but forum pages are much better for important information/long term information.

Everything you listed is great for the short term. Forums are better for the long term.

This would be a great addition! Realms would be able to secretly talk to eachother, in private.

I feel like the Minerealm forums shouldn't be responsible for posts you want prive in your own group. There are other alternatives like setting up a free forum of your own just for your realm/group of people.

This seems fair enough. But its always nice to be able to do everything Minerealm related, right on the Minerealm site.

That would be nice, it could also be used to keep people out of ban appeals/requests that don't concern them.

This isn't how a forum works, I'm not even sure Intelli could do this without altering the forum a lot. Just make a Skype chat and invite your select group.

Actually, phpbb is more than capable of a feature like this.
