Linking Forum Databases

Hi,

I was wondering how you would run multiple forums off one vBulletin installation OR link the users database, so that if theysign up at one forum they can post at all.

Similar to how http://www.auctionforum.com/ and http://www.gameforum.com/ are linked

What exactly do you want to do here?

Mirror the registrations or run the forums off of the exact same database (same sections, same posts, same private messages, etc.)?

Ok, well, that would take a little bit of work. I don't think it'd be too complicated, but I wouldn't know how to do it. I don't know of any mod that will do this either, so it might cost you some $$ to pay somebody else to do it for you.
