Okay here's the deal, im currently working on a new affiliate program thats going to be launching next year and im trying to work out the best way to offer multi-site accesses to members that join 1 site.

I know i can have all of the sites share the same htaccess file, that isnt the problem, the problem is, should i give all sites their own members area, or should i create a single members area and backend all of the sites in to that?

I can think of several benefits of using each method but im hoping someone with experience in granted members access to mutliple sites with 1 membership could offer some insight in to the best way of approaching this.

Any of you folks currently offering members full access to all of your sites with a single membership purchase? If so, how did you go about setting up the members areas?

Also, did you find that one method caused more problems for you than another and if so, what additional problems were created so i can avoid those if possible
