I still don’t know if it would be a benefit to “mix” it to wordpress or if a standalone discourse forum would be the way to go.[/quote]

I’m not sure what you mean by _mix_. If you use Discourse, it will be completely separate from Wordpress. The only mixing that happens is when you embed comments on a Wordpress page, but that isn’t special to Wordpress. You can embed Discourse comments on any html page. (You might also setup SSO, but that’s another story.)

Even if you were using Discourse for comments, you would still have to setup [forum.mysite.com](http://forum.mysite.com) to actually “hold” your Discourse. Then whether you use that as a standalone forum or as a comment section or as both is completely up to you.

I really recommend setting up an example site just to see how it all fits together, as most of these questions are best answered by just playing around.
