LAST thing(PIC) Creating U.S. States & somehow redirect users to their state's forum

[Sam1985]

Hello,

Thank you for looking, we are in need of your help. We don't know what to do.

We are setting up an education website for teachers.
We have so much of our free information to post on the forum, however we do not want to throw everything at a teacher at once. Here is what we would like to do:

• We want the site to be categorized for each state.
  So for example we want to create user profiles fields from admin panel and make a drop down with all the states, so at signup the user will have to pick a state. This is step one. No Problem.
  
  
• Here is where we want to make it unique for each user from each state.
  We would create all the forums like (General Discussion, Information for New Teachers, States...etc.) No Problem
  
  
• Then make subforums in "States" with all 50 states in the form of subforum under the main forum State. No problem.

The Question: How can we make it so that evertime the user logs on they are directed to their state's forum? makes sense? So that they are not ovewhelmed by the amount of info for each state or have to navigate to their state.

VB is so great, we were able to find a lot of the things to get us started. This is the only mod we need for now. Does something similar to this exist?
I was thinking of making usergroups, but we do not want to restrict access to other states. That is not what we want. We want the user to have info for their state(by being redirect to the approperiate forum, so some kind of trick/mod like that. If they wanted to search other states, the can.)
We are open to suggestions or comments.

EDIT: We have attached a pic of what we would dream about for what we need here it's actually a photoshop of vbindex(credit for the pic). If we can make something like that, that would be our dream
Thank You so much.
