Basically i would first want to be able to put it on 2 different domains (not just a mask... site1.com/forums/index.php & site2.com/forums/index.php) , and then have each domain have it's own default layout... but have the same exact forums/threads/posts. When I post on site1.com it shows up on site2.com as well.

Possible? Please let me know if I need to clarify anything.

Its easy, only if you are truly merging the databases.

To use VB on both:

Merge the 2 forums to 1 domain using impex. Take the other domain and have it redirected to the merged domain.

For the layouts keep your existing VB layout. And for the other, you will have to create a new style and recreate the PHPBB style. I dont believe there is a converter for that. But when all is said and done, it would be 2 sites with merged databases on 1 domain, with the other domain redirected. And the users will be able to choose thier own style. I think that will be the closest you can get.

This you can do with 1 license.
