On the subject of registrations.
Just so you know.
All permissions to access forums and features are based on groups.
The default groups before adding one is:
Guests(Non registered visitors,Including spiders)
Users(Registered Members)
Moderator(Designated by the admin)
Global Moderator(Designated by the admin)
Administrator.(Designated by the admin)

You can add as many groups to this as you want. Each with their own permissions. Some change automatic or by you adding a member to a group.



You can limit each group to what forums they can see and what features they can use.
So you could add a subscribe group using the subscription feature.
Even though they may already be in the user group you just don't allow them access to the groups/forums you want to be paid for.
Once they have paid they are promoted to the pay per group. and whatever permissions that group has they can now view the forums the pay per group is allowed to see or use.

You can also setup groups based on the number of posts to see and use.
Once they reach a set post number they are automatically added to the group.
And you can tie that in with member titles with post count.

I know it is a lot to digest. But the permission settings are almost limitless.
Of course the more complicated you make it the more difficult it is to keep track of.
