We cannot embed forums on wordpress.com blogs. What we can do is set up a free forum or social network like ning provides elsewhere and then link to the forum from the blog and visa versa.

If you use a self hosted wordpress platform, the Simple:Press Forum Plugin is one of the best out there!

I notice the blog linked to your username is not a WordPress.com blog. This support forum is for only blogs hosted at WordPress.com and your answer to this question is for self-hosted WordPress blogs, so I’m hoping it will not cause any confusion here. I’m posting a link to an entry outlining the differences between WordPress.com and WordPress.org, so others finding this thread don’t overlook this information.
