In that case, the simplist fix is probably to strip out the part of the CMS code that generates the comments-box for each new video page. Should be fairly straight-forward. Then just say "please visit the forums to read and post comments on the videos", and let them find their way to the corresponding threads. Coding the auto-generation of the forum links would be a little more involved, as would adding the forum links manually after videos have been posted, so that may not be realistic for the moment.
Anyway, the solution definitely doesn't require remaking the site. Some of the changes you need to make can't be done through the CMS, in its current form, but you can still make them with some fairly simple edits to the html - like to get rid of the vandalism.
If you'd like some help with any of this, PM me.
