Comment: Comments on articles in Forum

Bernard: Hello again

You are probably thinking I'm asking too much now, but here goes anyway

I'm trying to organise a site which has comments at different locations.

1. So, from my original request, comments could be placed in a central forum, instead of below an article.

2. I'm also wondering if the following is possible: You have a colletion of articles in a sub-section. Lets say the Section is Politics. And the sub-section is Activism. And this sub-section has 5 articles. At the moment, you could set it up that comments could be below each article. Or in my request in (1) they would appear in a forum. But could another option be possible, where a mini-forum appears in the Activism sub-section, below the list of 5 articles. So it's like mini-discussion board where new topics can be posted (so more than just replying to a one-thread comment). Overall, for each sub-section, there is a mini-forum attached. I haven't figured it out, but can this be done already?
