Okay, basic idea. You need at least three people to make a forum. These three need to each fulfill some minimal (as yet unknown) membership requirements in terms of time/posts/etc.
A request to make an Private Forum is submitted. It must be approved by an administrator. The forum is created, and any founder can change the description and the 'invite' list for posters. The forum is read-only for uninvited people. The founders can assign moderator status within the forum. In order for the forum to be deleted, all three have to register that they want to get rid of it. (This prevents some twisted sibling from taking your account through a cookie and deleting your forum.)
Ideas, comments? This *would* cause some stratification of the board, but I know that some of the older members are getting somewhat tired of reading posts consisting of "Nice post" comments, etc.
