RFC: rBoard
February 19th, 2009 by RadarSo I have this little hobby of mine called rBoard. It’s gained some attention in recent times and I’m wondering what people want in this forum system that isn’t already implemented, or could be improved. Leave a comment and your feedback is appreciated.

Radar, congrats on writing the forum software. it is neat. we are one of india’s biggest online discussion forums and we are operating on vbulletin. we are trying to shift the whole platform onto RoR. In couple of days some of us will try and add some of the missing vbulletin features to the rboard. Hope we collaborate on that pretty soon. One more thing that we would like is improvements on the performance side, so that 4000 people simultaneously seeing the forums wont cause too much of a problem. And then the migration scripts from vbulletin to rboard (to attract already existing vbulletin users). Of course we will be putting in efforts into those things i mentioned above and would like to collaborate with you over those things.
If you are interested please mail me and then we can take it from there.

I was really hoping to have Puppies, Kittens, Rainbows and Unicorns baked in. Other than that, i’m very happy with rboard thus far (only testing it out so far though).
Look forward to seeing you in #rubyonrails :)
