The Product Manager for the forums feature is a friend of mine, Danny Horn. I spoke to him about this EXACT request when I visited their office in October of last year.

He said the same thing to me that Anton heard from them. This EXACT reason is why I was hesitant to let our old forums die. The 'Wikia way' is about openness and not restricting access. I doubt we'll see this request implemented in 2013, but I will nag Danny again, when I see him next.
