Secret Google Forum

Hi everyone,

Thought I should be responsible and let you know what went on.

I came up with the idea after seeeing the option of setting an access forum for a specific item in the Shop mod.

So I set up the Secret Forum.

Ideally, members would buy the item and immediately access the forum. Unfortunately, it simply didn't work. So I tried changing the forum's permissions to "Registered [Hidden]". This allowed people to access the forum - but also let people in who did not buy the item.

However, it seems to be all fixed now. So if you had bought the item in the past, you have access. If you hadn't bought it, you don't. Just as it should be.

If you encounter any issues, let me know. Thank you and enjoy
