    But many people don’t want to have everything completely public, even if privacy is a illusion there.

    We have to accept that and provide a solution for both.

      You can lock down forums to were they’re un searchable unless you have a login. Tons of forums are like this.

      This isn’t true at all. Most people do not care about privacy; those that do are an extreme minority. You (presumably) and I are part of that minority yet even we still comment here, in a public space. The issue with forums has never been about privacy because most are content with pseudonymity. It is a big mistake to think we need to cater to the extreme minority in the privacy space when tackling big issues that involve a majority who do not care.
