Is there any social network style comment wall module? I know there use to be one but they discontinued it. It never worked for me anyways and their new facebook status module doesn't work for me. I'm working on switching one of my social network sites to a drupal built site so I could really use a comment wall. Can anybody help me?
Comments

seems to me you could stringtogegther cck for the content tyype, views and views attach to create the wall display with arguments for uid which would give each user their own wall.
There may be a single module that does this that I'm unaware of but due to using cck and views in most every project, I'd likely look first at recreating there than seeking out another module.
That would mean coming up
That would mean coming up with a custom code which I'm not good at. I would want members who comment on the picture to show up and I would also own the comment wall author to have the permission to delete comments on their wall.
FBSS
http://drupal.org/project/facebook_status is the best module for this. Works well and is well maintained.

This module doesn't work for me. I only want a comment wall I don't want the user "status" feature. If I could use it just for a comment wall it would work for me but the comments show up as the user's status. There's noway you can take it off.

Well, it's quite customizable so I'm sure there's some way to do it. But if you're really looking for old school, there's always the guestbook module.

I've decided to go with the guestbook module as it is my best option. I can't understand why this facebook status module wasn't set up with a basic comment wall feature without the status line. Everybody doesn't want a status line like facebook which is all that module really does, but to be original. Maybe it could be customized but not by default. I would have to dig into the code which is not good.

You can't understand why the Facebook-style Statuses module works like Facebook? :)
I'd be really surprised if you had to hack the code to do what you want but I haven't tried it so I can't say for sure. But the guestbook module does what you want right out of the box so that's easier.

The guestbook is great the
The guestbook is great the only problem is that it appears on another page and not inside the user's page which is how the current non drupal site comment wall is set up. Since it doesn't come with any cck view fields there's no way that I can set it inside the author profile page.
Sure there is
Just use Page Manager / Panels for your user view page and you can add the Panels content type that comes with Guestbook.

That's what I'm using but
That's what I'm using but guestbook doesn't have any content type or view type. You would think it would.
Yes it does
I used it before I switched to FBSS so I know it's there.

It still doesn't work the way
It still doesn't work the way I need it to work. How can you void out the status line that the FBSS creates by default? I just use want to use the comment wall only without the posts showing up as the user's status.
have a look at this to
have a look at this to display guestbook entries on the profile page :
http://drupal.org/node/34484
I had used the facebook status module and i feel its awesome and far more better than guestbook.
See it in action, the site (D5) was previosly using guestbook and then i migrated it to (D6) with FBS :

Like I said before this would
Like I said before this would work for me if I could remove that status line so that the wall would act like an actual comment wall which it doesn't do. But all of you seem to think so.
I removed the status line
I removed the status line from FBSS in the author pane and added the status stream to the user profile page. I also added user picture in views so now it works and looks like a real comment wall :) .
