On mine (the 2nd one) you have to register to see it: http://www.juot.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=50

Same with AMB which is on the same network.

8th Legion is the newest one on this network (of 3 boards) I think they are open: http://www.the8thlegion.com/forums/70-The-Trollarium

Tagged because I might be interested in looking to add this option.
The thing is, sometimes some of the content can be inappropriate.

Only thing bad I've seen so far was a thread about a sex toy. Other than that, the Network seems to be full of random rants and youtube links. I've noticed that some of my members are viewing the threads and only a few occasionally post. Looks like they have to get used to it first. I like it because it is a nice break from the average forum thread on my site.

The point of this mod is you can network any boards together, if you network with admins you trust you can trust the content of your network. It just so happens my forum and zethon's forum who have been networked for over a year have kind of "anything goes" off-topic so discussion of sex toys and other not-family-friendly topics are the usual on our network. Using this mod does not mean you get our threads- you can network with someone else.

What about from a SEO point of view? Duplicated content?

One solution is to make the forum not visible to search engines... However my personal opinion is- I don't really care what Google thinks, my main concern is making a forum my members want to visit- SEO is a secondary concern.

User experience > SEO

I took a lot of old threads from the forums I used to post on and re-posted them on my site.

Instead of SEO going down, it went up. SEO is pretty unpredictable at times, so you shouldn't always depend on it.

Oh yes, this has wonderful possibilities.
Anyone remember FidoNet from the BBS days?

I've been wanting this for a LONG time.

Any progress on other platforms? (phpBB would be nice)

Anyone have technology forums that would like to have a general geek networked forum?

I run geekhack.org :)

I'll join it.

Do you have a network setup already?

Hey BOP, can different networks share the same subforum or does a new subforum have to be created?
