The “posts” are made by authorized people, which then migrate down the page as new ones are added (although you can set a post as “sticky” and it will stay at the top). Visitors can post “Comments” on the posts, which brings in the “bulletin board” nature to the system.
It’s not really designed for discussions, which are better held on a bulletin board (which can be easily installed in WordPress) or through an email list, but some sites do have more interaction in the “Comment” section.
A site can also be set to dis-allow comments, or to have people have to register before they can add a comment.
