Minimum Posts Per Day to View Specified Forums

What does this hack do?
It allows you to specify the minimum posts per day that a user must have, in order to view specified forum(s). This is especially useful, if you want only active users to view a specified forum, and disable access to those forums from less active users.

How do I install this hack?
Simply follow the attached instructions.

There are many other ways people could view new threads without going through the forumdisplay.php

I will not modify this hack so that it fixes all of those, because there isn't a high enough demand for this hack - if there were more people who wanted it, then I would do it. But, this is not the case at the moment, sorry.

Thanx Gary! (I think you made this hack after my request??)

Is there a way to integrate this with showthread.php? that way people can't just link their friends to the specific thread. thnx a million

One idea: Why not instead of letting users know they do not have enough posts, make it so that the forum is invisible until they have enough posts? This may cut down on the spam, and let users who are truly active enjoy the benefits of secret forums?

Confused by the description. If the forum is set to one post per day, then how many days would a member have to be posting at that rate to get in?

It doesn't matter how long the user has been a member for
