Most forums don't use subjects on the replies. Some do but they are optional and will default to "re: topic" if you leave it blank. Because these are nodes, they have to have a title. Auto Nodetitles will allow you to either "disable" the title by hiding it on the form and filling in a default automatically or allow you to show the title and provide an automatic one if none is given. This should cover both needs nicely.

This requires node comment to expose a token for "parent node title"

See #481480: Node-comment target as token.

Also, when this is done, don't forget to remove comment_subject from this list of dependencies (plus any related variable_sets in .install)

nodecomment.module now implements this. I'm creating another issue for removing dependencies.
