You can change the forum name, but not the url for the forum,
unless you purchase a custom domain name.
However: There are several options that you can use as an admin
to protect your current members and their information from
people you don't want to be able to access it.
• If the old members are still members, you can remove
them/their accounts with an IP address ban that will prevent
them from being able to create a new account unless they are
very tech savvy.
• You can adjust the privacy settings in your forum for what
guests are able to see. In our forum, we have 4 levels of
visibility:
- What guests can look at
- What members with fewer than 5 posts themselves can see (so
that those who join but don't contribute are limited away from
the most personal/vulnerable things people say or want to be
known by anyone who doesn't have "skin in the game" as it were)
- Members with 5 or more posts have visibility for everything
except the next section...
- A board/section for mod discussion only, which is only
viewable by the mods.
Note that for the last two, when I say visibility, what I mean
is not "can see thread names but can't open them and see what's
in them" but rather those boards and their content don't even
show up for people who aren't allowed to access them.
