I have seen private rooms many many times. and for many different reasons.
Some may have topics that not all want to be a part of. Still others fear being judged and discussing things in private helps alleviate that fear. Some are created so you can have private conversations with more than 1 person. I am sure there are more reasons.
I will never forget how difficult it has been having 3 or 4 private conversations going on at once only to realize we were all PMing with the same people. Some people are not comfortable moving to Skype or Tango for a private group talk.
I have asked for the password to private rooms before. Sometimes I am given them (once) and sometimes I am not (thrice). The way I do it is see if I have a "listed friend" in the room. I will then ask If I want to have the password or if I do not want to have the password? I do not belong in every room
