For WordPress and blogging platforms, the comments area are nice and clean with regards to sites such as TechCrunch. For a forum feeling, one needs to install forum software, end of story. I could see this platform for blog comments to become chaotic and highly covered in garbage. Personally, I wouldn't add this functionality to any of my sites, there are just too many variables and it seems disorganized. Keep commenting and threading (forums) separate.

I've been using invisionpower board's messageboard system for years and it allows you to select what posts you want to export to the "blog format"/portal. With invisionpower board, I have certain posts exported to the blog format while the rest of the board serves as an interactive directory system. Why don't you do a profile on Invision Power Board now? For the people who are already invested in the blog format, I assume the subject addin would allow them to have a forum integrated with their blogs. But, having a blog that is a export from the forum is much better in my view. What about a forum that exports certain posts to the blog format?
