There was hack for vB 3.0.x called "Forums Access Options"
It was originally created by Grog6 who is not active anymore on this forums.
Now I think original thread is deleted.
The hack required 5 simple file edits.
It requires running 1 sql query.
It requires adding 3 phrases.
No template edits.
Can someone make plugin for 3.5 from this instructions:
With this hack, you can choose the minimum number of posts a user must have to access a forum, the minimum number of posts he must have to be able to create new threads, and the minimum number of posts he must have to be able to reply in this forum
##################
# SQL QUERY #

Run this SQL query on your database (don't forget to add a prefix to forum's table if you use a prefix on your board database) :
*********************************************
ALTER TABLE `forum` ADD `access_nb` INT( 5 ) DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL ,
ADD `create_nb` INT( 5 ) DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL ,
ADD `reply_nb` INT( 5 ) DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL ;
