This is also the reason we can't simply drop in a new forum system made by another company - it would probably be as much work to integrate it as it would be to add the features to our existing forum from scratch!

Most sites don't integrate with the overall site. The only integration you need for release is accounts and adventurer's log, both of which are kept in databases that would be easy to pull from.
You could then design the theme to match that of the main site. This isn't rocket science, and it's not difficult.
Not to mention as a business IPB provides services, and I'm almost fairly certain one of them is helping integrate the board with your present website.
Stop coming up with excuses.
