Quite often a forum is managed under a subdomain.

¿ Would You consider a feature that allows to "cross post" from "BlogDomain.TLD" to "Forum.BlogDomain.TLD" or even "Forum.Whatever.TLD" ?

There are already some modules which could serve as "stepping stones":

SingleSignUp,
PrePopulate

A more manual way can achieve this too, using "Interwiki" in order to get the Forum-Links into almost any position of the text You want to discuss.

Well just some thoughts about alternativfes for a great module.

While this is an interesting idea, it's definitely out of scope for the current version of the module. The main reason for this is simply that the module relies on core API functions (which assume direct access to the forum database table) to auto-create the forum topics it generates. Perhaps this could be done with some clever sharing of DB tables using table_prefixes, but I don't have time/energy to put into this.

Failing that, I'd suspect there'd be a better way to accomplish this through some kind of "web services"-style functionality on the remote domain, and probably deserves another module (or two) entirely. However, if anyone is serious about implementing something like this (and seriously thinks this module is the best place to do it), I would consider branching a 2.x stream of the module on which to test patches in this direction.
