This is an example of a "community only" page. On your site access of this page would be controlled in a finely grained manner by roles. A role called members is created and then view permissions for this page are given to members. Other visitors such as anonymous visitors would not have access to this page. With Vibrant Community Networks websites you have total control over which pieces of content different visitors can see. Roles coupled with rich user content will give community members a place to share ideas and connect with each other in a private secure space.

Forums provide a platform where community members can carry on an ongoing discussion. This could be centered around a common issue as shown in the example here or it could be just for fun like a discussion on great movies to see. Either way they provide a way for community members to connect and share ideas even when they can't be in the same place at the same time.
