I want to achieve the following, maybe a hack like this already exists or someone can write one that does this.

I want to create ONE User, lets say: GOLD Customers, this User has access to certain board areas through the access mask.

Now comes the tricky part.

When a customer logs in using this account he/she gets a text like:

"Thanks for being a GOLD Customer, to make support better and faster please register with your OWN personal Information"

The User then gets the "Normal" Registration Screen where he/she puts all his/her information.

When the User now posts it will show him/her as being Part of the "GOLD CUSTOMERS". So the User is being Part of a special "Club" so to speak, having all the rights of the GOLD CUSTOMER.

Can this be done? Has this been done? Any help is appreciated.

Why not just make a new usergroup called "Gold Customers" with access to certain forums not available to registered members, and change registered members to this new usergroup when they join and become a gold customer. There's no need for a hack. Registered users not in this new usergroup will not see these restricted forums if you set it up in the forum permission section of your Admin CP.

Okay, sorry I forgot to say this...

I already have ALOT of customers that are registered, and I have divided them into different groups. Some of them belong to a club like this:

Club A ( has 30 Members )
Club B ( has 17 Members )
Club C ( has 14 Members )
Club D ( has 8 Members )
and so on.

Now I want each of the Club A, Club B, etc. Members to have their very own account so instead of moving each of the members within each Club ( which is a SINGLE ACCOUNT! ) I want them to have their own account and still be part of their CLUBs.

So when a User posts it would say:

Membername
Member of: Club B

I am not sure if I am explaining it correclty.

You basically want them to be able to access more than one Private club?

Just create a New Usergroup, call it "Gold A", set the usergroup permissions so that they can access all, or 3, or 2 of the forums, and therefore they can access two or three or all of the forums...
