What transfers with the character to both forums? All of their setting and profile (including profile pic and avatar)? Some of it? None of it?
Ideally it would seem to me you would have password and email the same while everything was per site. No members have liked this post.

What about Subscriptions are those per user or per board?
Also is that a backup copy you are using or is it really live?

The only thing bad I see is if you decide to expand and add another forum IE 3, 4, 5, 6 etc just imagine how many tables would be in that DB.. No members have liked this post.

That determines if the setting is by board or by user. For example, since the custom title is in the user table, it will be the same on both forums. (It cannot be different). Same for the user's signature. Since signature is in the usertextfield table (a shared table) it will be the same for both forums.

However, he could really only control what one of them looks like! If the user has a custom avatar, he could actually control what is displayed on each site. I guess ideally the avatar table should also be shared.

The only real use I would have for this is if it totally ran like 2 distinct forums that only shared the core user information (username, password, & email).
