The problem I'm running into is getting comments on my blog/news articles because the visitors are so used to posting in the forums. One thing that drives me crazy, is to post an article on the blog covering a news event and then a thread started discussing the same article. I'm looking into strategies to try to get more comments on the blog articles. I agree, I do feel that with enough visitors a forum can be valuable on a blog.

Putu: It is a lot of work, as someone who has done it before, I can confirm that! Bob: Agreed 100% there. Even then though it may not be something your site really needs or wants. AsSphere: Depends on the site. Game sites, however, do lend themselves well to forums it seems.

Without that, it's probably not going to get much attention. I think you know you can get away with a forum when you have a high number of visitors, and a high number of return commentors.
