Right.
So it is about weighing the benefits people may get from reading (but not being able to post) to a particular board versus the benefits people may get from knowing their posts aren't viewable to non-posters and aren't googleable.
It isn't like people miss out on the benefits of reading altogether... There still are the other boards.
How about making them generally viewable when there are membership openings (so people can read the posts when deciding whether to join up). Then, when the limit of members is reached letting the group decide whether they want the board to be generally viewable or not?
