Having a private forum has many advantages. This solution can perfectly fit with a small community, like an association, a video game clan, a school or a company. Indeed, a private forum helps to create discussions non visible to guests. Moreover, registrations can be checked by the administrators to have complete control over the forum. Thus, a user won't be able to access the forum content but only the connection page. If you decide to create a private forum, this latter won't be indexed.
