Makes a post in the specified forum, in the specified topic according to the given specifications. If the topic doesn't exist, it is created along with a spacer-post.
Spacer posts exist in order to allow staff to delete the first true post in a topic. Without spacers, this would not be possible with most forum systems. They also serve to provide meta information on the topic that cannot be encoded in the title (such as a link to the content being commented upon). Note that $post should be in HTML, and some forums do not store posts as HTML. This is unfortunate, but there are some limits to just how far you can reasonably integrate with all these different forum systems without making a programatic mess.
