There is already the donators sub-forum which is essentially dead and I can't see a Legendaries sub-forum going any different. What might be interesting is a sub-forum for default trust. There are often issues which require discussion about inclusion or exclusion and at the moment the only way to communicate is to PM 10 people and spam everyone's inboxes when anyone replies. A sub-forum may organise this differently.
I think thats a good idea. It should be read only to everyone though to keep things transparent.
There are pros and cons for it being public. For example discussing CiTM in the public before he was overthrown got you disavowed from DT and negative trusted. People can be unwilling to speak out at their own risk and also propagates people using smurfs.
Without a common topic just being leggendary is kinda wide open. Some posts might be posted there that would help others... so you might be hurting other forums by limiting who can post/see.
I see at end of day it turning into a offtopic area. I don't think we really need it in any way. Sure would be neat to have a private forum... but long term I'm just not sure it would be good for the forum. Or if it will even be active.
