Private Subforums would be great and I think MOST important. imo This is an easy way for you to have a basic (low) price to join and still offer PREMIUM access to certain things for an extra price or have a sub-community for hyperactive topics. This subforum could be a place where tutorials for certain topics are located without it interfering with the everyday posts in the community. A lot of good can come from Private subforums!
