The forum is not private as most of the information on it is not particularly secret.
The content here is mostly an extension of what would be discussed on social media or on Facebook pages. However it allows ALBA Members and Supporters to congregate and discuss further while getting a wide variety of input.
There are private boards available for teams or LACUs to use if they wish to manage the membership more finely and discuss without the content being public.
Any party sensitive material is removed by the moderation team.
