Before I try to do something stupid I came here to clarify some inquiries.
I'm currently building a Web App with MVC 5, EF 6.1, Identity 2.2. The purpose of the App is to become a gaming platform which will be extended on the following years. (Hopefully the transition to MVC 6 won't be as painful). The app will serve for the following:
News site.
Tournament Registration
Forums
Ranking System.
+ Other features
Right now I'm stuck on the forum implementation. The MVC Forum option (The 1st one) seems to be the most viable one, but I've seen that it is a pain implementing interchanging info on the site (No Identity 2 support). I've seen that there are scenarios which I can hook and implement SSO (Single Sign On) which is what I want, but I'd like to have the possibility for the forum to display the user's profile, ranking and else. It shouldn't be something complicated....
So I came up with the following paths:
Modify MVC Forum so I adapt it to my Web App
Modify my Web App to comply with MVC Forum.
Build my own Forum engine.
Duplicate information in the MVC Forum app and my app, and operate them interdependently.
Implement another Forum solution such as PHPBB (which will require lots of work too)
That is why I need some guidance... Any suggestions?
