Yep and I don't really need the user db to be shared.

I was more thinking along the lines of the nntp hack where threads and replies are sourced and importet from usenet.

Although those users (from the usenet posts) don't have a profile. There name shows similar to how a guest would appear - yet thread replies are still imported accurately.

Someone had told me that because of vb's built in rss/xml stuff there are other solutions for achieving this. I'll see - a few feelers out there - but I know it isn't gonna be easy and may never happen - it was nice to find that the thread poster that I linked to had achieved something close though.

Thanks for your thoughts
