In a previous post (some years ago) someone asked about how one would do a paid subscription. The answer amounted to collecting money, and then having a script (fired by PayPal or some other means) that inserted the user data into the member data table.
This would work okay for a single payment case (i.e. I bought into it and now I can stay forever), but suppose one wanted to have a forum that utilized a yearly (or monthly or whatever) subscription fee. Can anyone suggest what would be involved in implementing this in the software? I know that other systems have this, but they don't have many of the features that FUDforum does. Is this an unavoidable trade off, or can it be implement in FUDforum?
Thanks for any help anyone can provide.

The solution is that you create a new group that controls permissions of all the forums. Then you set the default permissions to "no-access" for all paid forums. When a user makes payment you add them to this group with permissions allowing them to see the paid forums. When their subscription expires you either remove them from the group or take away their permissions.
