Have you considered that by adding extra (unnecessary) words to a title tag you may be diluting keyword relevancy? I have a forum that doesn't include it's name in the titles at all. As a result, we get very good search engine coverage for specific topic titles. This is without much extra SEO or an abundance of backlinks. Getting linked to by name is probably one of the most important pieces of advice.
