Topic: Blog w/Forum, just like the new http://punbb.informer.com site

I am looking for blogging software where the "comments" link after a blog post goes to a topic in a discussion forum instead of the typical comments systems. When I looked at the homepage of http://punbb.informer.com I found precisely what I am looking for... but this appears to be a non-standard implementation of the forum. Is the blog front-end to this site a one-off production or a plug-in? How do I do the same thing without re-inventing the wheel?

Hi,

We did this a while back for Nucleus CMS, here is the NP_PunBB plugin.

Here is the support thread for it. I've since moved on and the plugin is not maintained anymore, but you can use the code as an example should you decide to use another front end.

On another note, this is what I want to do moving forward with Textpattern and PunBB. Though the last year has seen it's drawbacks, hopefully when 1.3 becomes stable, I can create an extension using the code from the above plugin.

I too dislike blog comments, a forum seems like a natural to hold the conversations.
