Is it possible to make all forums ONLY viewable to registered users?

I know that it's possible to make a particular forum only visible to a set of defined users but is it possible to make a forum only visible to registered users in general. In other words, users who aren't logged in can't view the contents of a particular forum.

From the manual:

If you want to exclude some forum from «Recent discussions» list, you can set it in the bb_specials array $lastOut. For example: $lastOut=array(6); excludes forum with ID 6 from «Last discussions» list on the first page. It's not necessary to add this new value if you don't need this.
So you can try something like:

if ($user_id==0) $lastOut=array(6);
