10 years ago would have been bbpress version 1, which probably explains it.

I’d need to look at how best to do a password protect, and it would be a couple of weeks due to other commitments, might well be a standalone plugin rather than private groups, as that plugin is now so full that I have to keep refreshing myself on how it works !
