I am currently operating a vB 3.8.0 forum and a self-made game server. I need to cross-coordinate between two different databases. My issue at present is how to create an account on both databases at the same time, the game's database and vB's. Unfortunately I can't figure out a way to do so. You might ask why I'd need to do so.

To display Stats and the like, the IDs must match.

So, in a nutshell. I need to know how to make it so that when a user registers for a game account, It will also make a forum account using the same username and password.

Can it be done simply?
 
Simple? I would bet not. Now I have never looked into the code for a game server but it may be possible. What it basically requires is a rewrite of the game servers code to read/write from the vB database for things like log in id, password, and cookie checks.
 
unless the game server is compatable with VB then this wouldnt be possible, because even if you linked them both to the same database vbulletin probly wouldnt be able to read the game servers way of saving user's and pass's and vise versa...
 
Hmm... It took me too long to write the Login code to start over just for this...

There is one thing though. I've seen on a few sites, using vB and separate databases, that by signing up for one, you end up signing up for all...

One last thing. Would it be possible to 'bot' it? IE: Write a script to take the raw user input and Post it to the registration page for the game account? It may not be the most secure thing in the world, but it is the best I can think of... Is this possible?
