Hi,
I haven't played much with GForum especially lately, and I'm not sure about the first part, but your second part can "imitated" by using the Groups feature.
If you create a forum that is only accessible read/write/post/reply by members of "ACTIVE_USER" for example, and make the membership in ACTIVE_USERS contingent upon the number of users posts, you'd get the same effect.
You could do a small hook into the "post" routine, to check if a user is:
ACTIVE_USER = Yes if (! ACTIVE_USER and users.posts >= 50)
The reason to do it that way, is if the user is already an ACTIVE_USER you don't need to update their group membership, and it saves a huge amount of time on active boards.
Or, you could run a small cron job, every few hours, to update the database for every user where ACTIVE_USER = No and user.posts >= 50
The above is PSEUDO code, not real code, but it shows how it could be done, fairly easily.
