 * I have a main wordpress site and i would like to add a Question and answer section
   to this existing site.Currently I am using a plugin for this purpose but would
   like to go for a separate theme for more functionality. I see there are some 
   Q and A ready WP themes are available.
 * for example if my main wordpress site is [http://www.domain.com](http://www.domain.com),
   I would like to install a wordpress on a subdomain like [http://www.forum.domain.com](http://www.forum.domain.com),
   and use any Q and A theme for this.
    In this whatever the plugins (seo plugin,
   cache plugin etc) I have installed on my main WP site will available for the 
   site added as subdomain ? or do i need to use seperate plugins for second website(
   In that all plugins I have install second time)
 * I have read about WP multisite feature. I am little bit confused abou this multisite
   and installing wordpress on subdomain. I will be using separate themes here for
   my two sites.
 * Please help me here to choose better option to use this new Q and A section for
   my site
 * Thanks in Advance
    Anoop
