1. Basically you register in 1 board and you are registered on the rest. You can participate on all boards by loging in on any of them.
2. User statistics like, we have so many users online or registered, you know, those statistics at the bottom of phpbb boards will be shared too. Meaning that all boards will show the same statistics.
What is the best way to do this without compromising performance and headaches?
Should everytime a user register, have replicated all that info to all the boards databases or have one central location? Any good ideas?
What would you do?
If you intend to share information across all the boards it seems only logical that the statistical information be in a shared location. Trying to tie them together across multiple databases and/or tables is probably going to be worse than anything regarding performance and headaches.
