Is it possible? I currently have 3 sites with 3 seperate forums (2 vB, 1 IP.Board), I want to join them all together with 1 database, I've seen it done with 2 vB forums, but is it possible with a IP.Board also? Thanks for your help.

Do you want them to all use the same tables?

For instance, if you wanted all 3 forums in 1 database and have their own tables that would work fine, you would just need to adjust the prefix for each board, for instances:
vb1_users
vb2_users
ipb_users

If you want all 3 boards to share the same tables that is another problem and I can't see that working correctly.

Yes I want them to share the same tables... maybe not all of them, but atleast the user table (so they don't have to edit their info for 3 sites). I don't mind keeping the posts/threads tables seperate, but I want the user data to reflect the same over all 3 sites.

Heya :)

with vbulletin its not too hard, its what we do with TR and TF...

the IP.Board though your going to have a world of issues with. Would be easier to migrate it to vBulletin and then join all 3.
