Site integration?

[plot]

hey, i just would like to know how i would do site integration with my forums. I want it so that if you login to the site you also log into the forums and using the forums promotion system once they get a certain number of posts, they are promoted to a user group and have access to special parts to they site where other user groups dont have access

thanks for the help
