Those mods you mentioned work a bit different when checking permissions. They use something like:

PHP Code:

if (!($forumperms & $vbulletin->bf_ugp_forumpermissions['canview'])) 


While the mod in the first post uses something like this:

PHP Code:

if (is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, explode(',', $vbulletin->options['default_online_groups']))) 


Two totally different ways of checking, and both are legit, it just depends on how the coder who wrote the mod decided to do it.
