phpBB is the work of the devil.

Opinion is a nice Rails alternative.

Seriously, if you want to do this, you should do it, but if you're
just wishing it existed and hoping the entire Ruby community will
reorganize itself for your convenience, that seems pretty unlikely.

You've already got a healthy community here, it's just you're used to
the norms of a different community. Here, you use Gmail and this list
to do the exact same thing you're used to doing on PerlMonks. That's
really the only difference.

It's like trying to find good Chicago pizza when you're in Tokyo. It
just won't happen. It's just a different culture. That's just how it
is.
