Let's see if I can explain this right...

I want to run multiple forums for different kinds of people, but with just one memberdatabase. Is this possible and if so, how?

Example:
We got a mainsite, where you sign up and then some subsites with their own forum.

When you sign up, you sign up to all subsites, but they still run seperately, with categories.

Help!

Its possible, but would require some modification and hard code.

I did it between http://www.aspinvision.com/forum and http://www.invisionportal.com/forum

Maybe i should explain how lol ....

Make a new category for each "forum" you are setting up. Then add the forums you want. Then for each copy of the forum you have to edit default.asp and in the SQL statements you have to do a WHERE statement on Cat_ID = (ID of the category for that forum).

Basically i have http://www.aspinvision.com/forum to show only a single category, but on http://www.invisionportal.com/forum i have it set to display all the categories. So the two websites share the same table and members.

I think If you'll look at the links MadDog posted, you'll answer your own question.

Lead me not into temptation... I know the short cut, follow me.

Of course. The websites are using completly different code. The only thing they share is a DB.
