don't forget that anything that references the "home" circuit or a path to
it will then point to YOUR home circuit , which may not be what is meant to
be "built in" with the Open Forums apps.  example:

#fusebox.homecircuit# will now be your home circuit not OpenForums'
#fusebox.IsHomeCircuit# will now be FALSE when in the previous root circuit
of the Open Forums app
#fusebox.circuitpath#, #fusebox.rootpath# will refer to paths to your home
circuit not OpenForums'

might be one or two others.

Anyway, the real question to ask yourself is: "do I need to "integrate"
OpenForums into my site, or do I just wan tot use OpenForums in my site?"
If the answer is the latter, then don't bother integrating it at all. Just
let it run as its own FB app and put a link to it like you would any other
separate app you had at your site, e.g.
mydomain.com/openforums
rather than
mydomain.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=openforums.main
