Ah.... Lots of discussions on Private forums.
What I had in mind was a forum with restricted access in terms of posting... sort of view only..posting access given by a moderator or starter of the forum.This is to avoid post like " I am new....want tolearn ..TA .... where do I metastock ... " or "visit my Blog for making millions ...". These post are really annoying in the midst of serious discussions.
I personally do not agree with the "Elite Group" stuff. Everybody want growth. They want to keep on improving. If there no growth they would rather migrate to other forums. Then there would not be any so called Elite group and none to teach the newbie. Then this would remain a forum of begineers, sellers of wares, tip mongers and blog promoters. Last three years I have seen many good people ready to impart knowledge and one fine day there decide enough is enough and left or became inactive. I would not blame them for doing it as it was their growth that was at stake.
And I dont think if we have restricted forums people like Saint, Asishda and Sanjay would stop imparting knowledge....

Precisely the point, but dont know why you are against selected few (call it elite group or anything) forums. The whole exercise is to keep the scums out. What others are not understanding is that if it was to share some great secret between some people only, why would they be waiting for it on traderji, a y ahoo chat would be enough. it is only to let deserving people enter, contribute and share and not pollute some threads. And deserving people will keep on increasing, based on the quality of their posts. its not that the forum will be restricted to 5 people only.
KK, there will be one section who will always oppose it, for they will think that some lollies that were supposed to fall on their laps wont be there. So you have to deal with them anyway.
Anyways as you said it is not that a few members will post only in the "secret" forums, they will post everywhere.
