Thanks Charles!

I just commented it out like this...

&GetForumRecord($forum);
#return if($vars_forums{$forum}->[6] =~ m/private/);

Hope that is proper form... it seems to work. And bonus, the topics and posts appear in the content island feeds. :-)

One thing i did notice in Safari is that I can't log out properly. It says I am, but then when I return to the Forums, I am not.
