Hmm good thoughts right now I am testing them both on the test server... so they share the same SQL Database. The website uses Joomla, so sharing the database (for the deletion of names etc.) May be the easiest way to go with that.
Especially now that I understand how difficult it can be. I would prefer that the signups etc be handled by UBBthreads (because I trust it more than I do the content management software) but I may not have a choice depending on the options available with it.
