Thanks for the advice. Indeed I did check on IRC a couple of times and looked extensively at the Advanced Forum module as well as the other modules. Advanced forum works more on the theme level and adds variables. This ends up focusing more on the way comments are handled and displayed (and by extension how the forums are displayed). It does seem possible that there could be a convergence with Advanced Forums and that the two modules may work together down the road.
