I think we've actually solved the integration problem from a forum design perspective. While iframes are 'unsexy' I think you might be surprised what we've done. Even the more advanced users won't recognize that it's in an iframe. (The previous demo is a bad example, it works differently now) We have built a way to dynamically change the height of the iframe based on its content so there are never any scroll bars. We have also built a way to take the forums text and link colors and bring them through the iframe. When the referrer comes though the iframe we dynamically load a different header and footer, like shown in the screenshot above. So in effect, it looks just like any other plugin (Except I hope you'll agree, a little sexier than most...). What we've done is actually the same way that facebook gets facebook Connect to work.

So really the only downside to the iframe now is SEO. We can't help from an SEO perspective at the moment. I think that's ok right now because there are many, many other ways to drive traffic to your site through SEO. Correct me if I'm wrong but it's probably the most common feature of other plugins. What we do better than anyone else, though, is:

A) Monitize your existing user base through a very powerful classifieds system
B) Take the pain of managing classifieds off your hands. We simply want to do it better than anyone else. We'll handle this for you so you don't have to.

That's our value proposition at the moment - I think it's more valuable than additional SEO, do you agree?

There definitely is a chicken/egg problem and we're working on some unique ways to solve it. If this were easy, everyone would be doing it.
