I am thinking on opening a new forum that has to be stritctly private and secure (ie: not showing anything to anybody that's not a registered user. Not even/or specially to spiders and the like). Not that it's going to be anything illegal or something like that, but just really private.

So, I am looking for solutions out there and I am leaning towards phpbb. I installed it locally and I've played with it a bit and I like what I see up to now.

But, the main question is: Can it made what I need? If so, would it be very hard/difficult to install it in such a way? Can anybody point me to some sites or tutorials in that sense?

I am on a Linux server with Apache, php, MySQL, passwords protected directories and all that stuff.

Thanks in advance :)
