From that article;

Your site should be getting at least 1,000 unique visitors per day before you even launch. Don't open it up prematurely because it can make your site look uninhabited if no one posts.
That's nonsense.

They are right to say that only a % of the visitors to a website will also follow the link to the forums, not everyone is interested in forums but about 1/3 of your visitors do.

A forum, when aimed at the right niche can be a huge magnet for traffic, even for sites that do not have much traffic, a forum has the potential to boost traffic but as I said, it all depends of the niche.
