Thredded does all of this and more.

Because Thredded is a Rails engine, it is very easy to integrate it into an existing app.

Recently I was searching for similar functionality and came across discourse. You should definitely check it out.

Discourse is the 100% open source, next-generation discussion platform built 
for the next decade of the Internet.

Whenever you need ...

a mailing list
a forum to discuss something
a chat room where you can type paragraphs

... consider Discourse.

Its developed by Jeff Atwood and team

The Rails community has never been focused on developing Ruby/Rails forums, conversely to other languages such as PHP. The evidence of that is a really old news talking about one of the forums prototype ever produces in Rails.

You can still found traces of Beast somewhere, but the real answer is that there's no interesting open source Rails forum available from the time being.
