.Htaccess help

Hey DP members

i need a small help regarding my htaccess file

i use a multihost forum script and the htaccess file is as...

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^forums$|^forums/$ index.php [R,L]
RewriteRule ^forums/([-_a-zA-Z0-9]{3,30})$ forums/$1/ [R,L]
RewriteRule ^forums/([-_a-zA-Z0-9]{3,30})/(.*)$ phpBB3/$2?access_name=$1 [QSA,L]

Code (markup):

here the signed up user gets his own forum link as

sitename.tld/forums/username

where as i need in subdomain format

like

username.sitename.tld
