Allow access to a forum based on gender?

[JamesC70]

Have you considered putting your members into gender-based usergroups?

This way you could use the built-in permissions system (AdminCP -> Forums & Moderators -> Forum Permissions), and Forum Home will automatically display only those forums accessible to that particular member.

This is how most forums restrict access to a moderator area. A side benefit: the permissions system method won't be overridden by a later vBulletin upgrade, as a template update might be.
