Nice site mate.
Creating a forum from scrach would be very hard, also security may be an issue. It's easier to save yourself some time and use existing software.
If you have the money you may decide to buy vBulliton, many say it's the best forum software.
You also have 2 really popular options, they are phpBB and SMF (Simple Machines Forum) both have a massive community and are customisable not to mention free. I have added the defult install to my domain so others can see what the software looks like out the box.

My personal favorite is phpBB. You could install a forum on a subdomain or new directory and link to it from your site or you may be able to embed the forum into your websites design.
Hope I helped.
