IMho, that's far more complicated than it really needs to be. I think something that uses the log-in/user of VBB but just has a very simple comments system, completely seperate from the forum itself, so that it encourages people to register on your site (because they're really annoyed or they agree with what you've said) and want to leave a comment about it, rather than register on yet another forum... you know what I mean?

The way to do it, is the Coppermine way, which I think is outstanding, and with them agreeing for their code to be re-used in a comments hack.. what's to lose? This is ten minutes work for a vBulletin junky and think of all the applications.. a comments hack could be literally ported out to hundreds of content management systems and news scripts of all ages, complexities and sizes! Come on people you KNOW this hack would rock!
