I just saw the security advisory regarding OG Forum, and was distressed to see that there was no fix for it - the only advice was to disable the module.

There is one site I maintain where that module plays a really critical role - to just disable it, with no alternative, would cause huge problems. But obviously, I can't leave it up there if it's got major security holes that will never be fixed! So I really need to find a workable alternative.

What the site needs is basically a way of allowing each member to have a small, private forum, which is only accessible to that member plus a small handful of other people. Can anyone recommend another way of accomplishing that apart from OG Forum?

I second the motion. I have production sites where I need to restrict visibility of of forums by group membership. The ability to easily move forums between groups was a major bonus.

Is this something that should be moved over to http://groups.drupal.org/organic-groups? I have often wondered why this was not part of the base Organic Groups functionality.
