(I know this isn't really a third party integration but not sure where this goes)
I was wondering is it possible to connect for example: MyBB1 to MyBB2 using the same user database from MyBB1 for both installs?
Only with a little bit of core modding. Or a deep plugin if possible.

It depends on what you're trying to do.
Is it something that you want to set up? Or is it two already existing forums?
This question has been asked before - with no "how-to" answer.
However, there is a method to make one forum look like two forums.
Read this thread to see if it might work for you:

This was something I thought could be setup during creation of the 2nd forum.
Maybe go into database or wherever and tell it to use user table from another mybb database.
Sorry I know very little about what databases can or cant do if they can even be linked together
Edit: from what I have been reading on other threads, its better to have "a plugin to sync user tables upon registration"
You could try setting up a second forum and during it's install process you can give it the existing database name as a test.
^ if existing forum's database is used during installation with the same prefix for the tables then
its contents will be wiped out & new data gets in. i.e. earlier data is lost
Has there been an answer/solution to this or am I over looking it?

If using a different prefix for the second forum installation - you would have one database - but it would still behave as if it were two separate databases.

Its possible, but you need to be familare with sql and with php!
Thats why i told in first post you need a plugin or core mod to do this, safe and clean.
All other trys will end in data chaos or loosing them.
