This has been requested on many occassions in discussions with customers. The only problem with the implementation described here is that it isn't very contextual i.e. being conducted within a space/page or somehow related to a specific space/page. Customers have been seeking something contextual during my conversations. I've summaried these requests and this alternative implementation in CONF-5635.
Jive integration may be best implemented seperately as well.

http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DISC/Email+Notification+Storms+-+Alternatives We are also trying to create user forum for our customer
using confluence so that our customers will post general discussion, announcement, new futures, etc Specifically the fact that comments are fine at the bottom of pages, but a seperate "Discus" tab would be a great place for a threadded discussion... [ I am trying to use Confluence as an information sharing tool between managers working on many small projects at one time and this seems like excatly the feature I need.
Cuyrrently I have created a page for each project which describes basic project information at the top, but then would like a running commentary (blog-style?) on each project. This information is not project tasks, which are stored in Jira, but project status information to keep everyone up-to-date. e.g. Upgrade ServersWe need to upgrade our servers in Dublin. Comments: Jan 5th Tracey: Jan 1st Robin: @Christopher Owen: What sort of features are going in to 2.6? Adaptavist have been dabbling in this area also...
I am using blog posts + comments as forum threads, with a script macro to format them in a forum like way.
See http://www.thesarvo.com:8080/confluence/display/thesarvo/Tasmania 
Interested to know what the implementation will be, and if there is any possible migration path for me. The following simple enhancments to current Confluence functionality would go a long way towards making the comments less unwieldy:
1. The ability to 'collapse' a comment thread into a forum-like header line 2. The ability to move (archive) comment threads to a child page. This should occur without notifying Watchers and without changing the comment information itself (without modifying the post-by or date). This would retain the original information but enable cleanup of the main subject page. Confluence 2.6 includes "nicer comments" which make them look more like forum comments.
Community Bubbles plugin v1 (not yet released) has a {forum} macro that then lists all topics with their latest posts, etc. Resetting the fix-for-version of issues that have been lingering in the 2.5.x version but have not been fixed yet, and which will have to be rescheduled. Deliberately not pushing them the next version (again), but removing the fix-for version completely for now
