I have an general thematic forum and over time I want to bring parts of it (user base, and messages from certain sections) to another forum.
For example:
Sections “Cars” and “Trucks” forum [about-all.com](http://about-all.com) I want to put on the site [about-cars.com](http://about-cars.com)
Can I do this?
What is the separation procedure?

Yes this is probably what I was looking for.
Thx!
But I have one more question.
Is it possible to copy the entire user base? Or is it possible to use a common forum ([about-all.com](http://about-all.com)) as an SSO provider for the new forum [about-cars.com](http://about-cars.com)?
