    This is more about modifying the forum script you are using than the database. You are sharing one forum database between different locations, but want only certain forums to show in certain places. I am sure one of the more advanced forum scripts would at least have some way of handling this..

    I think you have to modify the source code. I don't know any forums script that have such functions.

    ya sure you can connect but u need to have more bandwidth space in your hosting account and its too difficult to manage 10 forums. If you are a team then you can

    I've been looking to do the same thing for ages now, and I've never come across any modifications or methods for doing so. I've had friends who are great with MySQL look into it, and they all have said it would take some playing with the database structure and then editing the core files to play nicely.

    It's not impossible, there's just no easy way of doing it right now.

    You can host 10 forums in one database as long as you use a different prefix for each forum's database.
