My take from

> [@JupiterFlux](#):

is that what is being asked is if Discourse has a type of “multi-site” feature similar to WordPress multi-site.

That is, some files and database tables would be “common” and shared between the different forums, while others would be unique to each forum.

Kind of a DRY thing.
