YO Speedy , dunno why u wasted ur time hacking that 6.2.1 then going to a 6.1.0.3 but anyway i think the first bit is possible.
As far as i know there is a hack which hides forums for admins and mods only. I think that it could be altered a bit to make it go like that. I am not sure about CP control though, maybe it will add a "grant permission to post + view forum" in their profile or something. But yeah this would be a cool hack and i would install it also.
Good luck trying to get them other hacks
