If you have a blog or website and want to continue the discussion, you might want to take a look at Disqus, an online discussion forum.

Disqus is a simple solution for anyone thinking about expanding their blog commenting system and is concerned with its customization. The design allows for threaded conversations and comments as well as commenter profiles. Disqus is compatible with popular blogging platforms WordPress, Blogger, TypePad and MovableType. When up and running, comments can be set so you know the instant someone replies, and not just when a comment is added to the discussion in general. Conversations can be managed and moderated with approvals and rejections done with one click and spam blocked at the door.And of course, Disqus has RSS, so comment feeds can be subscribed to.
Disqus can also be used as a standalone forum.
