    You can't.
    You can't add a forum to free hosted WP, you need self hosted, and use the WP forum plug in, or add a forum script on a subdomain, or folder.

    There are plugins. Though it serves basic purpose but then you can convert wordpress into full fledged forum http://www.fahlstad.se/wp-plugins/wp-forum/

    You may want to double check the thread you;re posting in as the poster has stated that they are using a wordpress.com and in fact there are not plugins for that. Also the fahlstad forum plugin has a number of security concerns about it.
