A thread has far more uses than a comment system (not saying a comment system is useless).
Exactly! A thread helps people to track bugs and allows the reporter to post attachments to show more details, and it doesn't seem as strange to have a large post in a thread compared to a large comment. This kind of information will also be a lot harder to find for people if you have a lot of comments like "This is really good", "Worst script ever", etc. Too much spam like that makes it harder to notice the serious issues.
although on the other hand, you could get other feedback that is not such "support" related with out the hassels of signing up for a forum that you might never visit again, just to say something like: "i like this script"
