Does anyone know some pre-baked code for making a forum. I know forums  
aren’t terribly difficult to do in RoR but if there’s something  
already out there it would be a nice time saver. I’ve done some  
googling for it but it’s hard to find since the searches come up with  
actual forum references.

Thanks for digging that up Thiago. Was also thinking I may get some  
recommendations by those who have used them. I’ll start implementing  
now and see for myself.

savage\_beast hasn’t been ported to rails 2 - but someone in the  
comments has ported it.

I’ll be integrating it into [homestars.com](http://homestars.com) soon, so will port then.

this post may help out.
