I have WordPress and BBPress pretty much sync'ed up. My question is not really about BBPress. My question applies to any plug in that requires cooperation and modifications with WordPress. I want to have it work a special way and this special way requires a very minor adjustment. At the end of the blog, where users can post thier own comments, I am going to have the sync designed such that if users make posts in the corresponding sync'ed forum, those replies will appear in the blog as comments.
The special adaption is this. I want the fields were the user can post comments onthe blog to be hidden. Instead, I just want a link to the forum (where the user will have to log on and register before he makes his post) and he will see corresponding forum entry that matches the blog and the comments there.
How can I do these two modifications?

First, this is a German WordPress forum, and I'm not sure how much help you'll get with an English thread here. Especially considering that there are enough English speaking WP forums available, e.g. wordpress.org and bbpress.org.

Then don't output them in the theme. That would be a rather simple modification of the theme's comments.php, for most themes.

Displaying the link is equally simple, probably. You need to decide though how you'll link the forum and the blog post together. Will the forum thread be created automatically? Will you create it yourself and give WP the URL as a custom field? If you know this, just display the linbk where now the comment fields are displayed in the theme.

I have made posts there but strangely they have yet to respond. I could post in German but my German is pretty bad and people tell me that computer professionals -- especially software professionals -- pretty much know English

I don't mean the individual comments section. I am talking about the place where new comments are made -- where the person types in new fields and presses a submit button -

Well, that's certainly true. I don't know if the moderators here have an opinion on posts in other languages, but English is probably ok.

Yes, that's just a part of the theme like the output of existing comments is. Since I don't know which theme you are using, I can only talk of the default theme, but that's pretty much the same in most themes.
In the default theme, you would have to edit the file comments.php. It's from line 63 to line 91, basically between <form> and </form>. That's the form for posting new comments. Remove it and nobody can post comments. If you know how to generate the link to the forum, that's probably the place where you would want to put that link.
