WHOA. Face melting idea.

I could see it being good for blogs who post infrequently and get tons of traffic. Every post is so monumental it gets its own FORUM… this would be like… for the UN or the White House or something.

I’m in jest — anyone who gets more than 100 comments per thread might want this; 10-20 responding topics with 5-10 comments each…

I hear you… comments/replies can be spammy and dumb dumb… but, I mean, here’s the thing:

Once a user creates a topic, then all the conversation that follows in that forum will be, likewise, comments/replies. I.e. similarly unfocused and not very constructive. So I’m not sure that what you’re proposing solves the problem you’re presenting.

Also, forum topics are easier to skim the entire content of, forums not so much. And people want to skim blog comments.

That being said, I’m still smiling thinking about how epic it might be to spawn entire forums from single blog posts. (though I can’t claim I’d use the plugin if it were made)
