Unfortunately, to lock the forums out so the general public can't access them is to basically say that we do not want others to know what might be going on, behind the scenes.  When this happens it sends of the alarms in my head, starts me to thinking what possible illegal activity are they trying to hide.  Furthermore, I am against locking out the forums, as they can be a source of information to both members and non members.

What I do propose is a special "Members Only" section, that would allow members to communicate and not be seen by others.  But, not the Whole HOPCA Forum.

Again, I am against locking out the forums.  We need to be an open club, to get new members.
