That addresses forum visibility but not category visibility.

Can you do the same with a category, where the category and all forums within it are hidden from general view but visible to a select group? I think that's what they mean by "hidden forums."

By having ranks mean something, and by adding category-level visibility, you'd be doing yet another thing that "that other forum" can't do without a "hack." As far as I know, phpbb3 still can only control forum visibility by post count through a hack, and I don't know if there are any phpbb3 hacks (I haven't found any yet) that ties it to the rank feature.

If you don't think you want to go there with the category security and adding rank to group_cache logic, then maybe an auto-group-membership function could be added to the rank feature to handle the permissions by rank thing. What do you think?
