I have been waiting for this for quite some time. Thank you so very much. Will have to install very soon.

One question, does this assign a secondary usergroup or a primary?

Thanks again for sharing!

I'm not sure exactly how I will use it, but I'm beginning to formulate an evil plan.

@jzewatsky
It assigns an additional (eg. secondary) usergroup.
Changing the primary usergroup would require quite a bit more work.

Does this have a default in case they don't pick an option upon registering?

[Andreas]

Default = None

I would make it mandatory if using this hack. The field that is.

I havent looked at the code, but it only works on signup? What if the user unchecks the option in USER/CP, will he/she be removed from the secondary group? This hack has so much usage. Thanks a lot.

If the secondary group is public they can leave it through User CP, yes.

If the secondary usergroup assigned by the script is a moderated one, will it treat it as a join request?
