private forum

[David Beaumont]

I asked this before but can't find it.  Is it possible to have a private forum with a hidden link that only we know and which is marked no robots to keep out search spiders?

We will have this, but it's not a high priority right now. So, it will take a few months before we get there.

Thanks for that I understand why it is not a priority.  We would be willing to pay something if that helps although it wouldn't be much as we are a not for profit organisation.  The other possibility is to accept your Google ads back, on the archive pages only though please.  

I suspect a lot of small organisations will have this private requirement for their archives.

Thanks for the offer, but I don't think it will make much difference. We have a very limited resource so we have to stick to our priorities. 99% of our existing users are public forum/archive users, so we are working on several important features to make them happy. As for private forum users, we had a few requests, and we know we will do them, but it's just timing. We would do them now if we have more programmers, but at the current speed, I think we may get to them in 3 to 4 months - that's the best we can do.
