Threads about specific private groups are often locked in this forum. They rarely pertain to the community as a whole, and the vast majority of this site's visitors do not participate in private groups whatsoever. As a place for community discussion, this forum tends to focus on this site's public elements rather than private cliques and groups which -- as you yourself noted -- are closed off and inaccessible to the general public.
Most threads about private groups, especially the ones that are more well-known, end in squabbling and arguments, and this one almost certainly would have as well. Threads about specific private groups (especially those with closed membership, but really all private groups) are probably best posted in those private groups rather than the public forums.
I did not lock it, but I would tend to agree with the decision to do so.
