When is it a good time to open a Forum/Board?

I know this one is not a totally CMSms question, so I hope it's ok to ask...
I feel our web site could benefit from having a forum, but it was occurring to me that it might be best to first inaugurate the web site and see how it goes, maybe run a couple of polls from time to time to check how really visitors feel about having a forum. And take it from there. Of course the alternative would be simply to inaugurate the forum right after the web site, or at the same time, and hope that people will actually find the forum useful.
Probably a second question steaming from the one above could be: How long is long enough to know whether people will ever find that forum useful or not?
Thanks in advance guys
