I have written a script that takes all your Links SQL categories and links and makes GForum categories and forums out of them. That means for every link a forum is created. The forum has the same ID as the link ID, so you can very easily link to it.
But that's probably not what you want.
What you could do is make a GForum template set, call it "links", containing only "post_view_threaded.html" for example. This template would be such that it fits into your Links directory. Then you could include this template in your links page with an SSI include directive. You would have to create a "root post" for every link (if you want this for your whole directory). And you would probably want categories/forums for those threads too.
If you want this fully automated you will be notice the following thing: if you want to map your Links SQL categories and links onto GForum categories and forums, that's very easy (see above). If you want not a whole forum, but only a thread for every link, it becomes more involved, and the mapping is more difficult.
OK, that's it for the moment. Hope that helps.
