I'm going to be using GF with actual news stories (since I help run a news site). We're currently using Web Crossing and the way we integrate the two is with a stripped down template that just displays the 20 most recent subject lines, which is then stuck at the bottom of the article with an SSI (the ability to have multiple templates is one of the things that attracted me to GF). The SSI does have to be put into the story by hand, which can be a pain, but it also means we don't wind up with large numbers of empty forums - only stories that generate enough interest get them.
