I installed RForum a few years ago because I liked the way it read from  
other mailing lists and present them in one forum.

Has it had some changes over the years, or is it the same code?

Is [www.ruby-forum.com](http://www.ruby-forum.com) running on the old code base, or have there been  
changes that have not been updated to the download?

What is Altered Beast? Does it have the same ability to include from  
other mailing lists?

There have been some changes to the version used on [ruby-forum.com](http://ruby-forum.com), but  
nothing substantial. The version I am using on [Mikrocontroller.net](http://Mikrocontroller.net) is  
much further developed and improved, but also heavily customized, and I  
can’t easily extract something that is fit for a public release. Maybe I  
will get around to making a new release some time in the future…

Can’t comment on Beast.
