Intergrating membership with Invision boards

Ok, I have created a site (No doubt some of you have seen my desperate pleas for help when I am to blind to spot a simple syntax error - Thanks to all that helped) which is due to be released main stream as soon as I can afford paid hosting (Next month or two). Anyway, my question is this....

People can register with my site (Like most sites), but I also plan to run a forum, and want to intergrate site users and forum users (i.e You sign up with one, you sign up with the other)
Anyway, as far as I can see, there are a few options:

Anyway, as far as I can see, there are a few options:
- Have seperate lists for the site and the forum. A user created on one creates one on the other - this would cause problems when updating profiles
- Use the same MySql table as the forums - Easy but I would rather avoid as it justs feels wrong. Don't ask, its just a feeling
- Create my own forum from scratch - Given the effort of creating the site I have now, I dread this idea, although I think I could manage it (Just)
