No, TAC has been used for a long time for this purpose.  You must
apply the TAC permission to specific categories of the forums
vocabulary. "Default" is for categories which will be created in the
future (for new forum containers).

Also notice that if you use TAC and Forum Access at the same time,
then whenever some of their permissions disagree "allow" will always
win.
