Okay, i've read some of Halo: First Strike, and I think that there are two species that could be the Forerunners.
1- Humans, obviously, theres alot of evidence to back this up, the Ark is on Earth, and 343 Guilty Spark drops alot of hints, but I won't go into that.
2- The Covenant Engineers, think about it, I think its quite possible, the Forerunners seem to be pretty inteligent as far as technology goes, and look at the Engineers, they seem to be pretty good at it. In addition, the Engineers don't really seem to be threats to humans, they just want to do their job.
Maybe, the Engineers were the Forerunners, and the Humans were their slaves (Considering there is also this idea flying around). The Engineers could have let the Humans, as a slave race to activate Halo, and maybe the humans had a secret home world (Earth) in which they survived.
Just my theory, feel free to add, shoot me in the head, etc...
no way
the engineers aren't even presented in the games thus far, and in the books, they don't have "feelings" as far as we can tell
