Based on the very popular Rails message forum, Beast, this is a Rails forum that implements multiple topics, posts, moderators, RSS feeds, localization, and most all the niceties you've gotten to know on the Beast forums (beast.caboo.se).

The goal of the Savage Beast plugin is to get the featureful forums of Beast, without the hassle of maintaining separate Mongrels, subdomains, and User sharing that make Beast tricky to setup.
