I remember on a vBulletin forum I was on years ago, you could go in your options and choose which usergroup you wanted to be your primary (AKA the color of your name).
I just saw Ron's post in the subscriber section and thought of this.

It was more than likely a join public usergroup setting. Since the subscriptions are private its not really doable without me paying someone to code it, But i could be wrong.
I do remember this. This feature is still common in forum software like Vanilla, PHPBB and other related things like Invasion Board.
The forum (it's dead now) was called for a game called Pawn. It probably doesn't matter, but I remember you had to send a request to join the group.
I just looked it up and didn't have much success, but this is what I was talking about:
http://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/usergroup_managementCode:Beyond the options that are available in the previous two tables, with public usergroups, you can: Add Usergroup Leader – this allows you to specify the username of a user who will become a moderator of the group. He or she will be able to approve and deny requests to join the group. View Join Requests – as an administrator, you also have the ability to moderate each public usergroup. This page allows you to perform these moderation duties; see below for detailed information on this page.
that is what i was referring too and is no use in this scenario as its not a public group you are joining but a private. For me to make the group means i have to open it to all users to possibly join and then to authenticate each request manually.
PHPBB still have this option
