Well, it's not hard for you, if you disable the forum, set the groups to not let people in...
however, if rick changes this, theres no way to get the ability that i want which is how things always worked in UBB.C, when you can have it your way by just editing the forum permissions...
That is, unless the disable forum option set all groups to disabled, then allowed me to enable it permission wise; but that'd be too much hassle as updating the forum list would probably clear it out
