private forums

[eclectica]

In vBulletin administration, the meaning of "private forum" is a forum in which only admins and moderators can see. But here I am using it in a different sense. It is to me a forum in which unregistered guests can not view. In some forums, even registered users are not given access to certain forums, with different tiers of access given to different users.

The beauty of vBulletin is that it does not lie. So if you are wondering whether you have full access to a board, simply add up all the post counts of the forums that you see, and compare it to the total post count listed by the board.

I did a sampling of a few vBulletin boards. I was curious how many of the total board posts are available to unregistered guests. Here are the results:

P2P-Zone (http://www.p2p-zone.com/underground/) 11% 21,225/188,250
TehRu (http://www.tehru.org/forum/) 67% 4,582/6886
vBulletin (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/) 82% 404,548/490,542
UniteTheCows (http://www.unitethecows.com/forums/) 85% 4526/5320
The Inferno (http://www.3-3-3.org/forum/) 93% 561/605
Zeropaid (http://www.zeropaid.com/bbs/) 98% 125,745/128,240
Ogrish.com (http://forum.ogrish.com) 99% 264,345/267,220

And what makes you think Bush has anything to do with any of this?

Currently there is a private subforum (http://www.3-3-3.org/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=4) that is on this site, which only registered members can see. It is a freewarez 31337 social club for appz, crackz, linkz, programz, requestz, serialz, and warez. However the subforum has little use or activity and I think that it is unnecessary and invites trouble. It is a relic left over from The Real Underground (http://www.3-3-3.org/forum/showthread.php?t=3). Any particular requests for a type of software program that a person needs can be made in the public subforums or by way of PM, and can often be fulfilled by open source or free software.

It is my intention to eliminate that subforum with a targeted shutdown date of December 1st. I will do that by moving, editing, or deleting what is left there into the rest of the site. This is to provide you with advance notice. Already the subforum has been shut down and is not accepting new posts.
