Use custom tables from DB?

So instead of comments, I store the comment data in a custom table and fields. For example, in the custom_comment table, whevenever a user comments it gets stored in the field user_id (so user 78 makes three comments, then three ’78’ appear in user_id). Is there any way to get this plugin to work so that instead of counting the ‘comments’ it would be able to count the ‘custom comments’? Basically, I am trying to set up ranks where users achieve certain ranks by the number of custom_comments. Need to hook into that somehow. Any ideas? Thanks.

Edit: Nevermind, the comments are also in the wp_comments table.

Edit #2: Can’t get the ‘comment on a post’ function to work.

Edit #3: Figured it out. Had to import the comments via Tool –> Recount Activity as wasn’t imported on install.
