That system is now on iBotModz. This system logs your username, post count, rep and group ID. Program makers then can use this to limit their applications to only VIP or only to users above 10 REP and 100 posts. The possibilities are endless. The system takes your IP and uses it to match towards an account which then is sent back to your program. So you can create dynamic programs sayings "Hello $username. If anyone decides to use this they can implement it via a button click, or forced on form load. This example gives an intro with no post count requirement.
This is before you do anything. On a real example, it might say "200 Posts and 10 Rep needed" Then you click "Authorize" and wait a few seconds. Now it has grabbed my post count, username and rep. Now you can do simple if statements to determine if that user is allowed to your program.
Now for some source code.
/*
* Allowed User Groups to post, edit this yourself
* Remove the ones that you DONT want to use your program
* For this demo, all the groups are there
*
* The ones that are missing are Bots,
* Guests and some old usergroups that are hidden
