Add-on Cross-Site Forum Node Syncing

[KozmoK]

Any of you guys remember back in the day when BBS's were popular? I used to code a bit for WWIV BBS software (games and mods mostly)

They had a feature that would allow you to network with other BBS's and share a common forum posts.
for example Classified Ads/For sale.

At certain frequency the site would sync up and download new posts, and upload new posts.

You could see a master list of all allowed forums to subscribe too. Kinda like taking a RSS feed and adding the posts directly.

That has nothing to do with what I was talking about. I dont want to run multiple sites.

I want to network a forum node with another xenforo site that is not owned by me, on a different server.

Yes you can do that...the other forum has to have it installed too.

Incorrect, Multisite uses one database only. They would need to merge to one database
