I don't see a function in the API to create a forum.
http://cvs.prohost.org/index.php?title=FUDAPI

How hard would it be?

So this statement seemed to work in my code:

        //Create the forum
        require_once "/home2/bugladen/cake/tobacconerd/FUDforum/include/GLOBALS.php";
        require_once "/home2/bugladen/cake/tobacconerd/FUDforum/scripts/fudapi.inc.php";
        $id = db_qid('INSERT INTO 
			'. $GLOBALS['DBHOST_TBL_PREFIX'] .'forum (
				cat_id,
                name,
                date_created
            ) VALUES (
            '. GroupsController::FORUM_CATEGORY .',    
            '. _esc($group->name) .',
            now()
			)
		');

FORUM_CATEGORY is a constant set to the id of an existing category in the forum

The forum appears in the Admin->Forum Management just fine.

It just doesn't appear in the forum index page at all. Not sure why.

I was able to create a forum in a script, but it wouldn't show up until I added rebuild_forum_cat_order() afterwards.

That function is in include/cat.inc. Good luck!
