Allow users from another xenForo community to post on your own.

Think of it maybe like Facebook Connect where you can log in with your facebook account, but it is a xenForo account from another site.

Rights/privilegdges could be one way or reciprocal or if you really want to get crazy they could be inherited (Site C trusts Site B and Site B trusts Site A, therefore Site C trusts Site A) which may work in a "webring" type set up

Alternatively if you know about Windows server trust relationsships, you could think of it in that manner.

A good example of this may be that oif there will be a xenforo.org which will run independantly, of xenforo.com, but manage by the same people, xenforo.com users could automatically have login rights to xenforo.org

D'oh - searching first is what one should do... pls ignore/delete

ezBoard used to do that, IIRC. You got a "Global" account and you could post with it on any board. I don't remember if you had to officially "join" the board in some way or if you could just zip in and post because you were Global.

(And, I was posting while you were searching... oh well.)
