I'm working on a project that needs to plug-in a forum for users...
In researching what to use, I have come across: Beat, R Form, F Form, acts_as_threaded.
Generally speaking, the requirements are for a package that be configured to work at this level of sophistication http://www.woot.com/Forums/
(what I am calling) threads -> topics -> comments. Highly configurable (to turn off features we dont need). Highly skinable. Secure (against trolls, spam bots). Support private messaging between users. free and open source.
Thanks.
