    Sometimes when you start a forum with some friends, it can be a bad thing.

    You and your friends will start talking about things other members may not know about that you guys do, and it will lock out other members from getting into the forum's "inner circle." So, if you start a forum with friends, be sure to try to not let guests and other members know that you guys know each other from past experiences.

    I think you are completely right. When I tried making a forum the first couple times, this is exactly what happened.

    Yes, it happens a lot because people are not aware of the mistake they are making, they think they are just posting around the forum and making it look active, when in reality, they are shutting it off to all outside guests.
