What’s the state of “I just want a private forum” these days?

(I’m aware of Taggart’s breakdown, but I explicitly don’t need any of the chat functionality, really just need a forum that is very very private)

Being able to get managed hosting a plus (I’m happy to throw money at people to handle IT admin, I just want to do the community management myself)
