Feature Bounty - Forum?

[thefirelane]

Hello all,
Forgive me if this has been posted before, but I searched, and didn’t see it.

I’d like to make a suggestion for the next pligg version: a simple forum. I think this would add tremendously to the community nature of the sites, as well as adding incentive for users to return more often. More often members might not have a URL to submit, but would have something to say. A simple forum would keep the site more ‘alive’.

I realize integration with vBulliten has already been achieved, but it has a couple downsides: being complicated, being too much for a simple site, and not being free.

What I’m thinking is something like the Fazed forum: http://www.fazed.net/forum/

Single list of topics and the ability to reply, that’s it.

Is anyone else interested in this? I’d be willing to start a bounty. I’ll chip in $50 anyone else?
