"How many visits/day or visits/month should I have before I put up forums? I added forums before, but removed them because the only posters were spam."

That is at your discretion. However, you may want to make sure that your website is receiving traffic as visitors will see an empty forum if that is not the case.
I think the most important aspect of the decision is: how active are your members? Do you get many comments on your site/blog? If not, your forum will probably be empty too.
I think also you need to decide what you want your Forum to do and the Aim of your Forum. A Forum can be useful for posting Information about your Site, if you are worried about Spammers you can lock the Forum for members only.
i honestly think adding a forum is a great way to get repeat visitors but the amount of visitors before adding one should be dependent on the quality visitors who use your sevices or share your ideas
