All of comments are readable in Drupal and SMF.

COM2SMF have some features for linking of users in both databases:
- linking of user's accounts in Drupal and SMF; - automatic registration of new users from Drupal in SMF;
- synchronizing of user's name, E-mail, password from Drupal to SMF;
- increasing post's counter of user in SMF with comments in Drupal; - shared login and logoff in SMF with the same actions in Drupal;
- shared activating/deactivating accounts from Drupal.
Also module provides some blocks:
- fully standart for COMMENT module block "Recent comments" with number of comments setting;
- Last replies in forum;
- Top posters in forum;
- Users in forum online;
- Hot topics.

This module improves Views and Taxonomy integration by allowing to override the taxonomy term paths. This is done through an option of the Views Taxonomy term argument: a checkbox will be available on taxonomy term arguments whose display has the 'path' property; when the checkbox is active every URL pointing to taxonomy/term/<tid> will become <display_path>/<term_name>.
The configuration is strictly tied to the view display's one, as a consequence you do not need to specify a path for the URL rewriting (since it is inherited from the display), and if you change the path the URL rewritings are updated automatically.
If you wish a simple and seamless replacement for taxonomy pages through Views, you want this :)

There are a couple of modules allowing to implement a similar functionality: Taxonomy Redirect and Taxonomy Views Integrator. The former allows to obtain the same result of this module through a far more advanced (and complex) configuration, while the latter allows to obtain a similar behavior but does not rewrite URLs.
The Empty Page module is a simple empty page solution. It provides an interface that assists in managing "empty" menu callbacks, mostly used for pages that only consist of blocks.
At least once every project, I've needed to create a content-free page. There are times where I don't want to be limited to a views page, and creating an empty node page just seems dirty, since there is a node_load happening (an empty node that I never intend to have any content inside of) that is actually loading "nothing". An example of where empty pages are necessary are things like the home page, or a section landing page where you want several info blocks that you can freely move around if needed.
This module adds a set of global permissions for creating, updating and deleting blocks. These permissions only affect the admin interface, front-end view access is handled in core.
