Hello All-

I’m looking for a ruby based discussion forum(BB) software to  
integrate with my project. The ones I’ve seen are RubyBB and Thetis

- Open-Source Groupware.

What are your thoughts on the above products and is there any other  
software that you would recommend. I’m also looking for paid ones, as  
long as they are not insanely expensive.

Any replies appreciated.

rubydevl.

Not sure if there’s simply a transient issue right now, but it’s  
_really_ slow.
