This module allows for a useful connection between story/node content on your
site and forum discussions about that content. For each selected node type, the
module provides a Discuss This! link that will auto-generate a forum topic or
link to an existing one to allow users to discuss the story within the forums
rather than as standard comments.

There are a number of configuration options: the administrator can choose what
content types have the Discuss This! link enabled, and for each of these
content types, a default forum in which to create discussion topics. For each
node, the default forum can be overridden, or alternately a previously-created
forum topic can be selected to link to.

Features
--------

* Site users can initiate new discussion topics in your sites forums
  instead of (or in addition to) regular comments. A "forum topic" node will be
  created and the user will be given the opportunity to post a comment on this.
* per-content-type settings to determine what types of nodes will use Discuss This! comments
* admins can configure who authors newly-created topics, and in what forum
* Token-based templating of new topics title/body
