The passwords in Mystic are 512-bit PBKDF2 hashes at varied iterations, and I
would guess the forum itself only stores password hashes too so there would
probably be no way to share passwords between them.

What would probably need to happen is the forum would need to authenticate
against Mystic's user base.  I would imagine most forum software has plugins
for external authentication (I think someone is already doing something like
this with Mystic).  Do you have a method to use external authentication with
it?
