I have a private forum set up

Non registered viewers wont be able to read,but not sure what kind of stuff we should put in there? or if whether to even use it at all?

Daily racing threads will definately stay in the main forum..

Is it a waste of time?

should all posts be signed off with contact details and real names?

That I and possibly more people actully in the game would be happy to join. Real names etc a must.

great. i do think that you should let regular posters like for example madji and Englander post under their abc name if you have all their personal detail if it is needed ....most regular know them in person and who really hide behind the baseball bat

will be a regular ....toooo many closet cases on open forum ......and most closet cases just read and never contribute to anything.....you will be surprised how many will jump out and how many "dodgy" ones and especially the negative abusive closet cases dissapear .....
( let every reader sign up and you have a whole lot of voice )

where do i sign up bob?

What is the use of still having pseudonyms? All under their proper names if going to be a closed forum I think.

Many different reasons Craig,there would be a lot of folk that need to hide their identity because of their employers

Absolutely ............that would be the whole point IMO.
The idea is surely for opinions that posters are prepared to put your name to and that the interaction then is more comfortable!

What would be different to the current forum - only that one needs to register to read - if so I'm not sure if it's really needed?

Guys just in case there is any confusion,the internet is there to enable people to read information,i`m on it all day every day.. abc will be staying the way it is

The private forum will be a forum where only members can read (if i ever sign it off) and will just be a sub forum similar to the competition forum.

As I said I personally would prefer an exclusive forum with real names and people. No one can hide and snipe at people. It would attract the more serious racing lover and we would have less of the infighting and name calling etc. My preference only. As Frodo says, without this it will just be like the normal forum.
