  Buddypress is a plugin for wordpress.ORG installs and you are confusing wordpress.COM hosted blogs with WordPress.ORG software installs. There is no FTP access and no blogger installed plugin capability on any free hosted WordPress.COM blogs and there is no upgrade you can purchase here that changes that reality.

  For your WordPress.COM blog you have three free workaround forum options (two of which are referred to above)<: http://onecoolsite.wordpress.com/2012/04/23/wordpress-com-forum-options/
  One approach is to register a forum on the internet and then create a custom menu in your blog and include a custom link to the forum in it.

  The Tlk.io widget may be useful for your group. It allows you to embed a web chat in your WordPress.COM hosted blog. http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/tlk-io-widget/ There are no other chat options I know of that work on WordPress.COM blogs at this time.
