would it be possible to do the following, and if so, would it be easy?

1. i would like all posts to be encoded or turned into Binary for guests and regular users. in otherwords, they could only view posts in binary numbers. they would then have to go to a separate place on the website to copy and paste the post to decode it. This would be a page provided in the attachment to the post.

2. paid usergroups or subscribers would have their posts automatically decoded and it would look normal.

in otherwords, when someone replies, they would reply in regular ascii, but the post would automatically encrypt. certain usergroups would only see the binary and others would see the actual post.

i would then provide the link to a decoder (is there one i can embed out there?) for the users that default to binary. hopefully, this would make them subscribe ... but if they don't, they can still read the posts.

i would greatly appreciate any help or suggestions.

Is there a way to use this attachment to automatically encrypt posts for non-subscribers viewing and decode for subscribers viewing?

thanks!

Do you want the posts to be encoded when stored into the database?

ugh, i was hoping it wouldn't take a lot of file edits.

no, i don't think the posts need to be encoded to be stored. i was wondering if there was like a user viewthread function where a certain usergroup only views it in binary and the others regular.

sort of like a filter.
