It has been tried before and didn't gain us a thing.
Partially hidden forums give people the impression that what is public is all there is.
Completely open forums give too much ammunition for those that want to manipulate people's words and posts.
Completely hidden means they have to join the forum. If they then try to screw with us in a legal or illegal manner, we at least have a record of their IP and email address.
Nevertheless, whether to go public or not to go public will be regularly reviewed to decide what is best for our particular needs.
