Sorry, I didn't mean the forums, I was looking for the comments added to your stories, in a much simpler fashion than Jive. Thanks, however, for the quick reply!

It's used throughout a good part of Cnet, not just for the forums but for the Talkback/comments sections on Cnet.com, news.com, and others as well. The software's design and functionality is just customized by the Cnet engineers based on the desired usage.
