Not sure if there is something like this already, but here goes.
I've been working with the idea of multiple communities and work areas for users. Some communities are running UBB, others are running other boards (or no boards at all).
What I'd like to be able to see is a way to create 'dummy' forums under specific topics that look like the user is clicking into another section of the UBB, but is really being directed to another URL.
The only thing that I would see difficult would be linking up # of posts and Last post, though these can be done easily with either static text or simply a javascript file. Using a hack on Todays's Active Posts that wrote out simply a text file, I was able to build a .JS file that updated other parts of my site -- this would be perfect for adding to the allusion that these areas are connected.
Any suggestions if this is possible? It would be a big help to those of us working with communities across many servers or different systems.
Thanks
