Hello all,
I am currently looking into the possibility of adding a "premium arcade" to my forum. By this I mean that members who have paid a small subscription fee will have access to a "premium" games areas, normal registered users will only have access to a smaller subset of games (but can see the premium games and high scores just not able to play them).
The first option I looked into was creating different games categories for "premium" and "normal" however there doesnt seem to be any functionality to restrict/allow access at a usergroup level.
The second option I looked into was actually running two installs of the arcade side by side, however this mashed my test forum into the ground and would require alot of code/db hacking :)
So my third and final option is to come here and ask if anybody has any ideas?
