Not sure if already done

[rob228]

i have looked and not found anything as of yet

what i am looking to do is move all my private areas via catergory link to another forum located on same server. the only parts of db from main forum that i want to use is the user and user group permissions and what ever else is needed for this to work is this possiable or will i need to have a completely new db to achive this and just have the cat links going to the new forum
any sugestions from anyone on how i can achive this or a way to do it so my memebers can have an easy trasition to the private areas as they can
my forum is already very large in size for me as well as some of the others and it is only going to get larger with further additions of private areas this is why i want to move these areas to another forum that is just for those special memebers
thks in advanced for all ur replies and help

ok i see no ones interested in it so far but im going to hold tight and maybe i will get a push in the right direction
1: thought is to mirror the primary db and have tables set up for secondary permissions
con of this method :to many querys
what i am after is is being able to use primary and secondary permissions with out increaseing the db querys any more than i have to. even if it means hard codeing whatever it is that i need to make this work
still keeping secondary forum in another directory pulling from db of main forum
i am making some progress as to different methods of doing this but i just wanted to see if some of the vb gurus could sugest more than what i have so far
Anyone care to coment on this just skippy do da will do as long as I see someone is looking maybe the right someone will look sooner or later
If this is wrong area please move it i will not be affended was not sure where to put it in the start
