 * Hello!
 * I have a simple question, one that has been a headache for a little over and 
   hour now.
 * I want to integrate PhpBB with WordPress, but I don’t know if I should use my
   WordPress Database for my PhpBB or create a new Database for the PhpBB.
 * Help is much needed….
 * Thank you !

 * You can use the same database, just as long as you make sure that the database
   prefix set up in your wp-config.php file is unique for WordPress. You really 
   won’t see much if any difference in resources or procesing time using one database
   for both, or using seperate databases.
 * Having said that, i would actually recommend having seperate databases if possible.
   The biggest reason behind that is that you can back them up individually, and
   if something goes wrong in one, it won’t affect the other one.
