Hi Bayler,
As much as I would like to discuss this more, I am unable to due to the lack of a PC. I am currently having to use my brother-in-laws at his house. With that, on an extremely limited basis. I am so terribly sorry. I am though able to check PM's and Forum posts on a daily basis. But as far as this idea...there are so many others that I have that eventually ties into one another. It would be awesome if a 'plugin' system could be developed so that each of the listed items can easily be created and released on an individual basis, yet able to tie into one another as if they were coded as one.
Listed below is a list of clan ideas I have put together over the years. I had actually intended to hirer a coder to produce this and simply release it free to the public, but could never gather enough money to warrent the interest. Regardless I thought I would post it here in hopes to better explain what precisely I was suggesting, its purpose, and its funcionality.

You are welcome to PM me here or E-mail me at my MSN account at voice4vision@hotmail.com . Once I am able to get a PC, we can MSN each other, but until then my options are limited.
As far as the Overall Forums Permission, AWESOME MOD. Way more easier than the previous versions. And I certainly agree that this is the exact method advisable for this idea...
