I can't think of any good reason to not hide the staff forums

I always hide the staff forum as well. Non-staff members don't have access to it, so it is pointless to make the forum visible on the index page as it just ends up being dead vertical space.

Also, I'd rather not have to answer the "how do I get into this forum," and "what is this forum for" type questions all the time.

i have 2 staff forums.

the first one is for moderators and other light staff positions. This one is hidden from the members.

the second one is for global moderators and administrators. This is hidden from the light staff and members also

Alot of forums do this which is kinda cool.

I personally feel that it is better and safe to keep staff forum hidden. I feel the reason being the chance of direct interaction with staffs may result in proper managing of the forum.
