Okay, here's what I would do...

Step 1: Create custom phrase as follows:

Click "Save" to save the new phrase.

Step 2: Create a new plugin as follows:

Product: vBulletin

Hook Location: forumbit_display

Title: Use Custom VIP Phrase As Applicable

Execution Order: 5

Plugin PHP Code:

PHP Code:

if ($forum['forumid'] == XX AND $forum['lastpostinfo'] == $vbphrase['private'])
{
    $forum['lastpostinfo'] = $vbphrase['vip_private'];
} 


Replace "XX" with the forumid of the private VIP forum.

Plugin is Active: Yes

Click "Save" to save the plugin.

This works on my local dev site...if you have any issues, let me know.
