I run a game and a website for players to post.
The problem is that I would like to limit users of the shoutbox to persons that play the game!
On the game server I can collect IP addresses of players that have played in the last N days. I could then export that list to my web server.
I would like to be able to specify a list of IP addresses to UBB that indicate ALLOWED posters.
Now, since UBB has this wonderful ‘Permission’ and ‘Group’ system, I would suggest making a new BUILT-IN group that allows the specification of these IP addresses. In this way, I could use this Group to allow or disallow actions like posting, shoutbox, etc.. UNLESS you were in the list of allowed IP addresses.
