A complete N00B here. I am using a discussion forum type software now, but I need some of the additional features like are offered by Drupal (authoring, bookmarks etc)

The main think I have to be able to do is to control forum access via subscription. With Drupal will I be able to use a group permissions scheme to control access to forums based on a person's subscriptions.

For example would a person be able to subscribe to a group online and then be automatically place in that group when their credit card transaction is successful. If they canceled a recurring subscription would they automatically be taken out of a goup?

Thanks in advance for any help on this!

You can configure and assign a role on registration that allows for forum access (autorole module, ymmv as I havent used it).

As for the e-comm part of registration, that isn't something I've seen done yet (If anyone has examples, lets hear about them).

Registration -> CC verification / transaction -> approved -> role (w/ forum access assigned) / account created is my assumption of what you are looking for.

If you'd like to ask more questions send me a PM via the drupal site.
