Rule 218/0(l) : Redesignation of Fora
   
     The Administrator may designate a Forum public if it is reasonably 
     accessible to all Players. The Administrator may designate a Forum
     private only if it is not the sole extant public Forum. Only the
     Administrator may redesignate Fora. The Administrator shall
     maintain a list of public Fora.


Rule 218 makes it pretty clear that only the administrator can declare a
forum to be public.  The only time I think this rule might be at all vague
is if someone claims to have created a new forum, and that it was public
from the very beginning.  Even in that case, however, the rules seem to
imply that a new fora would start off as neither private nor public and
could only be declared as one or the other by the administrator.
Therefore, I rule TRUE.
