Yes.

The best one in my view… it’s small it’s fast.

RForum (http://rforum.andreas-s.net). Compared to Beast:

  • better scaling (used in a forum with 500,000 posts)
  • more features (captcha, user messages, syntax highlighting)
  • can act as a mailing list gateway (http://www.ruby-forum.com)
  • ugly default skin (TODO: rip the stylesheets from Beast)
  • a lot of legacy code from old Rails versions
  • probably more difficult to set up

At the moment you’re probably better off using Beast.
