I am debating whether to integrate an existing RoR forum...or if there's a simple RoR forum-creation tutorial that I could use to just put the basics...it's a side-function to the main application.

Can someone offer a suggestion?

Beast was a Rails-based forum with "only 500 lines of code" that was popular a few years ago. The CSS was horrible though. I see there is now Savage Beast 2 derivative.

You can watch this screencast to get an idea: http://media.rubyonrails.org/video/rails_blog_2.mov It's for a "blog" but can be adapted very easily to make a forum.

I had a similar problem few weeks ago - integrate some 3rd party forum or make one on my own.

It took me ~ 4 hours to make a simple forum w/ css and moderation without any tutorials. I bet I would had spent much more time on customizing some 3rd party forum..
