I'd rather not see it, for a couple of reasons.
Firstly, the clear elitism. I'm put straight off any forum which puts members above others in such a way, as I would have been had Bnet a non-public forum when I joined.
And secondly, I honestly don't think it would work. There have been numerous groups in the past attempting to bring together Bungie.net's "best of the best". While they succeeded in grabbing the members they wanted to, the so-called "super-intelligent activity" never happened.
What would people talk about in this forum? As good as some members' contributions are, they're mostly in the Septagon, which is the least troubled forum, and I don't see many new threads, or indeed replies, in anywhere save here and the Underground. I can't see it being a good thing, members would get bored, and the forum would be flooded with "Where's the activity gone?"
I think the quote "You can bring a horse to water, but you can't make it drink" sums this up aptly.
Psyched- I'm well aware that this would be elitist, and in my opinion that is why it would it would work. Of course, bragging to the people in the full access forums wouldn't be a good idea, but if people had an incentive to be good, not just a punishment for being bad, I think it would work. I can see where you are coming from on all your points, however. The second one I see as the biggest problem. I'm not quite sure what the forum would be about, or even if I would want to go there. It would need to have something the other forums don't. I was thinking that mabye the Staff could add some extra news now and then, but I'm sure people would just send the news through PMs to their friends, and soon it would be posted in the normal forums.
And EAGLES5- That last part didn't seem much like a joke to me, but I can see how it could be meant as one.
