I was wondering if anyone has experimented with anything like this - I need to create (several thousand) separate forums. I would however like these forums to be hidden from the normal forum browsing interface.

Now I have a pretty good idea of how the forums system works (the "forum" table as well as the way it makes use of taxonomy). My first idea was to just create a container and delete it from the term_hierarchy table. This however does not work since when users post new threads to a forum, the forums needs to be in the term_hierarchy tree. (This is perhaps the most problematic point, since I don't want people to have to load a drop down box with the names of several thousands of forums).

Anyway, I was wondering if anyone has done anything similar in the past, and if you had any ideas on the least dirty way to hack this together?

Install and turn on the module.

Create a security group in which test forums are not enabled.

install the taxonomy access module and then set all of the forum terms unreadable by anonymous.
