My message board has a private forum. The regulars love it and some of the new people don't. It's for regular posters by invitation from one of the administrators. When a board has a private forum they have to be prepared to take the heat for it, something that I am willing to do. Having been stalked by repukes many of us just don't care whether they think it is elitist or not. The protection of and comfort of our regulars comes first. New people either deal or don't deal, it's up to them.
However, DU is 100 times the size of my board and that makes getting to know new posters well enough to invite them into a private forum very difficult. I'm not sure how well it would work on such a large board.
