|  Re: Commenting on news
I brought this up before in the form of a poll. It got 34 yes answers, but those probably were all SVS clicking it one day at a time 
While thinking through the site and database setup, I eventually ended up at a place very similar to the default approach of Drupal: everything (news, programs, members, forum posts, etc) is a node. Every node can have comments, can belong to a category, etc. A full rewrite of the site (that's what it would be to switch to Drupal) is probably out of the question, plus there haven't been too many people volunteering with PHP coding lately, so we're stuck with me doing small incremental updates. Oops, I got off topic.
So, commenting on news items... I think this should be done so that somehow news items are also forum posts, appearing in their own category. That would simplify a few things, but complicate others. Would it make the home page redundant? Would it litter the forum too much? Do you guys have an idea for a different approach?
