CI Forum Plugin or Integration

[eluser]Otemu[/eluser]

I've been searching the CI forums and elsewhere to find a simple to integrate basic Forum

I am sure you probably looked at it already but if your looking for a basic forum, can you not modify myforum to suit your needs?

The website I've already developed in CI has a user registration, login, commenting, rating and feedback system, as well as an admin panel for simple user management....

...Would also like the forums to appear within a view, rather than launching independently post-login.

Seems you already built quite a few features already that a forum uses anyway, could you not build on your already existing features to create a very simple forum for your site?
