CyberOffice Club (CyberClub)
A database-driven membership program might be just what you need on your site. CyberClub does what you think it should:

A bulletin board to post regular information updates on the site, targeting selected groups. A message log for the system admin to offer one-to-one support to the members.
Provides a means of authentication to your Web site. This can be imposed on the restricted areas of your site with a couple lines of codes on any HTML page.
Has an automatic link exchange program for third-party sites to link to you and exchange the links with built-in verification of reciprocal links.
For an end customer, a registered account provides value added services like order history lookup, loyalty reward points, wish list, membership discounts, credit limit etc.
For an affiliate, this is the account by which you track the sales report (and get paid).
For a merchant / supplier, this is the account by which he uploads the products and receive orders.
An auction bidder places bids on items by this account.
In a captive market, CyberClub can set a pricing matrix or a corporate credit limit on any individual account.
