    Keep in mind that a sub forum will require a SSL cert or a wildcard cert to cover it.  If you are not using SSL then it's all preference with one big exception.  The sub domain is seen a bit different for SEO, this is from a Moz article.
    5. Subdomains or Sub-folders Since search engines keep different metrics for domains than they do subdomains, it is recommended that webmasters place link-worthy content like blogs in subfolders rather than subdomains. (i.e. www.example.com/blog/ rather than blog.example.com) The notable exceptions to this are language-specific websites. (i.e., en.example.com for the English version of the website).http://moz.com/learn/seo/domain
    Simply something to think on.

    Geeez Kevin you have put out some intense powerful add-ons, NICE, thinking outside the box should be your middle name
    That has been my last piece to work out, can I assign a member to a private invisible forum, so 1 member 1 forum (only seen by them), so that is what I am hoping to do with Group Collaboration.  At anyone time I will have a 100 or so members, very small and niche, but it's a premium forum only.  Between the 2 add-ons it looks very good but I think just with GC, I can put the member into their own private forum where only the admin can talk to them, then they can invite those into their group, very cool.  I guess I need to play around with the demo to get the true feel.
    I am grateful for your answer!

    ​As @Adriano Faria mentioned, anything you can do with a stock IPS board, you can do as a collab owner. So as a collab owner, you could create a forum inside your collab and make it invisible to all except yourself.
    ​In order to invite somebody to your group, they must first be a member on the site. This is because the site administrator ultimately has authority to decide which member groups can join in collabs, and a user without an account does not have a member group. Therefore a user must first be processed into the community, and then they can be invited to a group/collab ( according to their permissions by the site administrator ).
    As for receiving an email, the invitation is sent through the core IPS notification system so the user can choose the method by which they are notified of invites ( email/inline/etc. ).
    ​There are a couple of ways to tackle this. One way would be to assign members to a new member group (or secondary group) when they purchase a product in nexus. Then you could give permission to that particular group to create collabs in your category(ies) of choice. You could also assign a maximum amount of collabs they can create in that category (via the category settings), or across the site in whole via the ACP under the member group settings.
    Another way is to use my Rules Application to create collaborations for them automatically when they purchase certain products via nexus. For example, you could write a rule such as "When user purchases product X, if payment has been received, then create a collaboration for them in category Y". However, the Rules application is very new and I haven't yet released the expansion pack for the Commerce app which will allow you to tie into commerce events, so you'll need to wait a short time for that to become available.
    But to answer your question, it can be done and you have options!
