I’ve enabled Drupal’s Forum Module and installed the Advanced Forum Module. It seems that this only allows the site to have just one forum. I can create multiple containers within that forum, in effect creating collections of related forums but I still only have one main forum.
I would like to have very different forums of which different Drupal roles would have different permissions. For example, I might want an alumni forum of which only users in the Drupal role ‘Alumni’ would have permission to access and I might have another forum, ‘Environmental Issues’ that might even be open to all regardless of Drupal role.
Is there a way to do this using just Drupal’s Forum Module and the Advance Forum Module?

http://drupal.org/project/forum_access allows you to set permissions per container; you can configure it so that non-alumni aren't even aware that 'Alumni forum' exists.
