2 Forum / 1 User DB ... possible ? how ?

As for 2 Forum 1 DB: IMO not possible; more info here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...threadid=39966

However if I were you I would follow a different approach: Use 1 vbulletin (this will save you buying a new licence either) and hack it to achieve your goal.

For example create 2 different usergroups for your registered members one of which can only see "off topic community boards" and the other usergroup has only access to "The special interest board". Apply different styles to these 2 forums. Then put a link to your header something like "The other board". And attach a small hack to that link which will change the usergroup of the user when clicked (of course for only users from these 2 usergroups!). With one click their usergroup will change so does the forums they see and the styles of the board. More hacks can be applied to change header/footer etc according to usergroup of the visitor..

It's an idea formed in 5 sec. so I didnt ponder about the consequences/potential problems on the long run, but it seems ok at least in the first look.
