The point to this is to make the DE forum private so when we click "New Posts" we don't see 16-17 DE threads. They believe that without this, people will be more inclined to post in other forums. You guys are still more than welcome to post outside of your forums, but wouldn't you like it privatized? This way, the only people that can post in there are yourselves and you won't get the occasional Grav/KA flame that they throw in there sometimes.
