BuddyPress.org

with phpbb it was easy to grow numbers.. because there was an option to restrict access.. to registered members only..

buddypress does not have this though

people can read all posts without registration there is invite on,y and hidden forum.. but it is not the same as

register to view..

i think that;s missing feature by the way

re facebook login — I want them to be registered with me, not only with facebook haha – unless I misunderstand..

re hosting,, is it fast? to me it seems on the slow side,

so I am glad you said that.. guys who were helping me out had to install some plugins to optimize it.. etc..

it is on dedicated server / litespeed
