An interesting, however very difficult concept to implement properly at the moment. Why difficult? Well, a thread can contain numerous message, each message could have polls, attached files etc... Also, what if some of the posters in the thread are only members of one forum, do their accounts get imported in the process or do the posters become "anonymous".

Hmmm...
I'm glad you brought up those points, I hadn't really thought all the dependencies through.

When I was daydreaming about it earlier, I had thought that the if a site's message board wanted to allow thread mirroring, it could enable a view that renders a thread's data in an XML display (kinda like backend.php or slashdot's RSS files)...

I think it would be possible to mirror over a message thread structure with static stuff like the message bodies and file attachments, but I can't see polls working out.

Depending on what info was available in the mirror output, one might be able to match users across boards by their email address, and any non-matches could become anonymous posts (as you suggested)...

I definitely need to think about it some more... Smile
