I think it's a good idea for friends and family if they are computer and forum savy....
I have a friend that set one up for his homeowners association and passed out flyers on mailboxes and then had an authentication process to verify homeowners. It's worked good for him.

No. Cliques are a no-no in my book.

I'm computer-dorky! 
You must be working on your site right now...

I think private communities are great ideas for some people. I am currently trying to figure out how to create a free (private) forum host for teachers to use with their students.
Somebody has to teach the little beasties how to behave online.  |

| I have never used a private community as I find it something that can be an easy epic fail. I use age generated communities that are locked to those under a specific age. For example I have a site that I am working on that is all about Beer and Wine and therefore by the nature of the content the minimum age for registration is 21+. I can see this community going private if it's necessary and from the outside I guess it will look private as I won't have much of a teaser for the public to see as this topic does not allow for that. |
