Hello all,

Does anyone know of a good ruby based forum app that I can plug in to my  
site?

Thanks,

Ian

It doesn’t ‘plug in’ to any app though. You might look at Savage  
Beast, which is based off an older version of Beast and packed as an  
engine. I don’t have the URL handy, but it’s a google search away I’m  
sure.

SB can be found here:

[http://svn.nnovation.ca/svn/savage\_beast/](http://svn.nnovation.ca/svn/savage_beast/)

Get the demo app here (will help answer any questions you may have)

[http://svn.nnovation.ca/svn/savage\_beast\_demo/](http://svn.nnovation.ca/svn/savage_beast_demo/)

I’m going to be integrating SB shortly and will likely get in synch  
with Beast again - ETA \< 1 month.

Also note that if you’re developing for 2.0, engines may not be there  
yet (James?).

Cheers,
