[nycphp-talk] Weird forum feature I'd like

The problem is, for this usage you can't have anyone in the "network" be a
"master" forum.   Everyone has to be free to choose which of the other
groups they are willing to exchange data with.

You might even have a weird cloud situation, where you have, for example:
Site A
Site B
Site C
Site D

Site A exchanges the "org help" forum with everyone
Site B exchanges the "org help" forum with A and C, but does not get along
with people on Site D so they don't accept D's posts
Site C exchanges with B and A but will accept messages from anywhere
Site D exchanges with just A and accepts from anyone


So a post made to B would sync TO A and C directly, and then when D syncs
with A it would appear there as well
A post made to A would automatically sync to B, C and D
A post made to D would sync to A directly, and from A to C but when it was
sent from A to B, B would reject it.

Does this make sense?  Basically, groups can voluntarily associate with each
other for specific forums, setup sync schedules, etc and they still retain
complete control over their own site.
