Topic: Admins/moderators only for categories

I'm considering removing the ability to make a complete category admin/mod only. As it is now, the feature is only a lazy way of making all forums within that category admin/mod only. Thus, no functionality will be removed.

The reason I want to remove it is making a few queries a little simpler. Especially for "recent discussions" where I won't have to join in the category table if only forums can be admin/mod only.

What do you say?

Edit: Typo.

Re: Admins/moderators only for categories

if the category still is invisible for normal users if all the forums within that category is admin/mod only ... then I don't see a problem with it

Offtopic, but fly started it! :)

I doubt the increase in members had anything to do with your choice of bb-software. Why would anyone not join a board just because they thought it was ugly? :)
