Savage Beast is a Rails Message forum plugin based on the popular Beast plugin. The Savage Beast plugin has been installed in hundreds of Rails sites, partially because it’s the only viable choice for a message forum plugin, but also because it incorporates a lot of features that would be a time-consuming headache for you to implement yourself.
