Well, after a bit of a shakey start I think I've found the right way of doing things.
One of the most noticeable changes is that one click invitations are back for all members. However, you may need to tollerate me sending the occasional Mass Message asking people to sign up for the forums. lol.
On the subject of the forums... I've removed the "apply for membership" forum as it no-longer applies. I have also changed and expanded the Rules & FAQs section.
