To "truly" do full database mode all data will need to be stored in database this includes file attachments, avatars, smilies etc... No bulletin board does this, since that would be extremely silly to store binary data in the database. Just dumping the message bodies into DB like VBulletin and phpBB2 do won't accomplish anything beyond making the forum slower. Adding such functionality would simply be a hack to make FUDforum implement bad functionality of other BB systems. Which is why I resist adding such functionality.

In both UNIX and Windows using NFS (UNIX) or Samba (Windows) data on a drive can be shared by many machines, it is a common practice to share data like this for other applications. So, there is nothing to stop anyone from sharing the data across a network or even Internet.

You should also realize that THE only major datablock stored on disk are the message bodies all other info (presumably user settings, thread info, etc...) is in MySQL database, so it is already VERY easily accessible.

If you open FUD2 code, you can reasonably easily make it write the message bodies to the database rather then disk. If you are familiar with PHP it should take no more then 1 hour or so for you to do that.
