There doesn't need to be one system. Forums and comments will different roles. People who comment on content are generally just voicing their opinion or asking a question; whereas a forum is typically a place for discussion. There will never be a single medium that is appropriately formatted for both; for one: a discussion is generally old-to-new and comments are new-to-old.
