Default Add an ask the experts forum/contact page

I would like to add some sort of "ask the experts" section to my website. Is there a best practice to adding a forum to wordpress? Or is there a better suggestion to accomplish this? I would like for the wordpress user and forum user to be somehow integrated. Is this at all possible?

This would most likely be a very simple one forum question and answer type setup.

That looks like a great plugin but far more than I need for this task. Any other suggestions? I looked at the realanswers plugin from realty baron. great idea but i dont like that it is tied to the company and other agents can answer the questions.

bbPress is another WordPress plugin, and can integrate so that the WP login / user is the same as the bbPress login/ user.

This is exactly the question I came here to ask after looking at the Simple Press Forum plugin. It requires certain calls to be made in the theme header, and I was looking to see which of the five or six forum plugins out there work best with Genesis. Sozo, have you seen it used in action with Genesis to know it works?
