I used JEvents many years ago on our club website but then moved to a forum. Unfortunately there always seems to be advantages and disadvantages either way.
Most forums will allow users to subscribe to new posts but if they do not log in they do not get any more... often the case. SMF has an announcement option to send posts to all members and some others have to be done by Admins through a mass email.
Can JEvents send out a notification out to all users that there is a new event? And is there an hourly email limit throttle?
I think previously (2007-2010) I had to use another mailing plugin as Admin which kind of defeated the purpose of getting users to post their own events out.
One problem I had back then with JEvents was the use of a 3rd party comment plugin. It showed only comments made by users under each language. If some users had their site language set as Japanese, other people using English would not see their comments until they swapped languages.
Would be nice to move back to Joomla if I can sort out those two problems (without custom code changes).

There is a notifications addon for JEvents - it allows you to send new event notifications out to specified groups of users or the users can register interests in specific categories and be notified when events are created in these categories.
For the comments are you looking for users to be able to 'join a simple conversation' about an 'event' just to be able to append a simple message - a user updatable custom field may be able to do this rather than a full comments addon
