When the private forum feature appears, will I be allowed the option to make all who have posted already members of my forum?

It might even be needed to make them all members (seeing as they already have posts in it). Is there another option planned, if not? I mean, what happens to those people when they go to view their post? Will they not be able to see it anymore, or will they just be able to see threads they've already participated in?

That would be good to know, I think.

The same question could be had for 'former' members of a private forum.

Whatever the case, I'm fine with whatever you choose, and I'm really excited for this feature. It will help out a lot in my critique forums, as some people are leery about posting content to be critiqued where 'everyone' can see it—understandably, too, as publishers can be picky about content on the Internet; most serious groups have private critique forums, it seems.
