What's the ETA on the next version? My deadline for this feature can probably wait until February or even March, but not later past that...

For anyone to be able to create a forum, they must be either a site administrator or an admin for a particular page where the module is. Anyone who has this admin ability on a page w/ the module, they can do far more than create a single forum. They can manage any other user settings for specific users portal wide, they can change settings on other existing groups/forums, and they can also affect anything attached to that moduleID from an administrative perspective. Because of this, I suggest nobody take this approach. The new version of the forums has completely changed security/permissions but this will still be the case in that version as well.

I have spoken w/ Shnar and will continue to do so, but the only way to make something like he desires happen without affecting the security of the module as a whole, a new interface must be created which can be controlled/exposed to another role.
