Honestly I think I know what MJ is going for here: He wants a forum where everyone can post ideas that he can rip off for WAR without properly compensation.
"Hey, I've got this great idea for a PVP system..."
"Wow! Thats great. We're using that for WAR. Here's a beta invite and a hat, now we're going to go make lots of money!"
I know WoW refrains from posting in their suggestion forum for this very reason, and asking for a private forum where everyone's ideas are in the public domain just reeks of lazy devs. You want game design ideas? Then HIRE people who know how to make games. Don't beg for handouts for free on a forum then act like you're doing people favors.
(Funny to me that everyone reacted largely to the fact that he wanted the forum invite only and not the public domain thing.)
