And having been an admin on sites for years I can tell you that a private place is a key tool for admins to use when there are more than just a handful of users. Yes you could do it over PM but that's messy, a proper setup is far superior. As (former) admin of a fairly large forum website, I can assure you that some "secret" site off of the forum is entirely unnecessary.

The best solution that I have learned is to use email rather than private messaging of any sort.
