I've just converted my forum over to IPB, however I need to get back the functionality I used to have with my Mybb install and then some. I am seeking modifications preferably free modifications that can accomplish the following:

1. Allow access to a specific forum/section based on members age, post count, and number of days they have been registered.

So member "a" can access "b" forums if they are a certain age or older, have accumulated "x" number of posts and have been registered for exactly or longer than "x" number of days.

This restricted forum will be hidden until they meet this criteria, and once they do they will automatically be granted Access.

2. An SEF links mod, I keep being told IPB 3.0 will have this by default, but I don't want tp wait for IPB 3.0 and don't plan on upgrading soon since the conversion from Mybb 1.4 to IPB 2.3.6 + mod installation has already been a bit frustrating to do.

Does anyone know of an SEF links mod for IPB 2.3.6?

SEF (Search engine friendly links) are not to be confused with SEO (Search engine optimization). What SEF does is takes a normal URL such as http://en.wikipedia.org and automatically parse it into a much cleaner form: Wikipedia - Online Encyclopedia

3. I also need a modification that can disable the swear filter for certain specified forum id's (fid's), and give the user the option to enable or disable it in their UCP to override the forums default setting.

4. I also need a decent ad modification that can handle header/footer banner ads, inline post ads, and global contextual (text link) advertising such as Chitika, Kontera etc...

5. A modification for an Ajax Quick/Fast reply, available to freely download if possible.

6. A decent/advanced board statistics modification.

Thanks if anyone can help, I already tried searching via Google and the IPB resource site in addition to a few other websites that specialize in IPB modifications, but came up empty handed.

I'm unsure if I didn't use the correct keywords in my search query or what.

It would seem this section isn't too busy. Can you hear the crickets, I can...

Anyways I'm mainly looking for a decent free ad modification that will allow me to easily add ads to the forum, such as contextual advertising, banner header/footer ads, ads after the first post and every "X" posts. For the ad system I also need for it to have group/forum exclusions on who can and can't see the ads

I've tried two systems already:

And the Google Adsense Bot...

The first tutorial I've linked to doesn't work properly, it'll add an ad after the first post but not the last like it's supposed to. Half the time there's a blank white space or no space where an ad should be.

The adsense bot doesn't give many options and doesn't allow the ad to be centered not to mention it's a bit outdated.

If you can help me find the other modifications it would be greatly appreciated, however mod #2 and mod #3 can be scratched off my list.

One thing that pains me is I installed Minerva SEO and come to find out I can't receive support for it because:

A. I can't get activated on the official support forum for the modification.

B. The developer seems to have mysteriously disappeared without a trace and has been MIA since the beginning of September, no news, no updates, nothing saying he gave up or quit on the project or not, and the fact the support forum is highly inactive and filled with spam/bots where guest posting is allowed.

This made me a bit fumed especially after I spent so much time installing it only to come to the realization that I won't be able to get support or bug fixes for critical bugs that are needed to fix the SEO/Furl option of the modification as well as other bugs that need to be fixed.

Community SEO is far to pricey, ridiculously priced I must say, and I can not afford it.
