Thanks Arthus, I like what Disqus does; it has possibility though this project wanted to control access to the comments (sigh, why not just be open!)

I’d check out Disqus - it offers a service which seems very similar to what you’re asking for. Plus, it supports threaded replies and all that jazz.

Thanks Brett– I like punBB, used it a few years ago at Maricopa and is much less of a headache then phpBB.

I found in their forums this morning a WordPress plugin that someone wrote to create new forum topics for each blog post; so I am thinking I can extract the logic from how posts are created- very similar to the example you sent which is basically writing directly to the database. It seems workable, thanks for the link.

I’ve heard good things about PunBB, but haven’t been able to find a mod specifically for this. From the looks of this (http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=2661812) though, it could be because it’s so easy to roll your own, folks are just doing it that way. Looks like some pretty straight forward sql inserts.
