I'm not a techie but what i'm suggesting is that people accessing 'different' message boards, will actually be reading and posting on a common platform and accessing a common platform. Is this feasible?

Very feasible. And I suspect that what you're talking about is exactly why they finally got around to normalizing the way the interface is dealt with.

That or they finally realized what an unmaintainable mess it all is/was and made the changes in the interest of salvaging what little sanity the programmers still possessed.

If it's the former, I'm still not optimistic they can pull it off. Especially since if they're considering doing that, they're certainly not the only ones. For example, though my Talkzilla project isn't about stocks specifically, a central part of it is the ability to have multiple sites display exactly the same message boards but with aspects of the interface that are unique to each site. Without someone at the other site having to make programming changes.

I'd bet money nobody at SI knows how to pull this off without "cheating" and just redirecting URLs to make it look like other sites have their own message boards. But it's very do-able. A kind of distributed-centralized hybrid we used to do in the BBS days.
