Well, here's what I was thinking of:
1) I set up another board here (yes, the software can actually support more than just 'IWETHEY', believe it or not :-)
2) Once I have the admin interface up (add new forum, etc.) set you (or a designated lackey) up as admin for the 'AAXNET' (or whatever) board
3) Make a new forum for each story (or maybe just big ones)
4) Just put a link, 'Discuss this story <a href="http://z.iwethey.org/render/board/show?boardid=3">here</a>' at the bottom of each of your stories.
5) You can create a minimal header for each forum as well if you like, pointing back to the story perhaps.
