The Concept:
IPB threads as comment system for external websites.
Website's side: IPB topics could be automatically created and plugged below the Blog/CMS' articles; then on the forum's side, the first message of the thread could be the article's text.
The idea is similar to some popular comment systems such as: IntenseDebate, Disqus, JS-Kit, Facebook Comments Box, etc.
Those systems then enhanced their features with "Comment Threading" coming together as a forum, or at the least the forum's concept.
So why don't converge the forum's purpose to comment system for websites?

What do you guys think about it? :)

This will largely be possible with CCS

With "external websites" I mean also e.g. WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, etc. So can you still confirm that CCS is gonna fit the point?

Well, CCS is it's own product. It's not going to facilitate anything with third party scripts. The concept would be that you would use CCS in place of those.

Yes. We use it as our article comment system for now. we spent a year developing it, but we're scratching it to use Disqus instead, since ipb doesnt do the job aswell as we wanted it to do.
