I think a lot of us who run multiple sites would like to have the ability to manage them all from a single control panel as well as the ability for members to login to multiple sites within their own network without having to register to each one which can allow for better cross promotion.

It would be nice to be able to have something like:

gaming.community.com
health.community.com
entertainment.community.com

where community.com could be a portal of your best articles/blogs throughout your network that are promoted there.

When a network grows to a point, people start thinking about moving towards a system that can provide more functionality like a drupal or spending money for developers to create a custom solution...

if this functionality existed it would encourage forum owners to keep growing their network.. which means more licenses.. and it would be even better if there was a solution developed by IB so we can be assured when new versions come out we will have the compatibility..

I am sure many would pay for a commercial version of something like this.

Just a few thoughts about the potential....
