We are trying to integrate the user table of our ubt forums with the user table of another aplication. We want users to be able to sign up for one and become members on both. Since our forums are very busy and the other aplication will be pretty search intensive, we are trying to come up with the best way to optimize server resources.
We originally planned to share the w3t_User table with both applications, but I am not sure this will be the best plan now. Any suggestions on the best way to integrate the user base of the two applications? The other application is custom written user connection database program.
