I love this. I love the deliciously clean design, the immediate type-and-post functionality (reminiscent of IRC), the loose feel and structure of the forum that makes it a wonderful base for customisation in any aspect. I wish this were in Ruby/Rails; then I'd set it up on my site. It's precisely the sort of forum I've been looking to implement, especially the two-column format and the IRC-style text entry box.

(I wonder how I could get it to interface with a Rails app? Would there be problems just connecting it to the app's database, to get/store user accounts and stats, for example?)

Here's the github repo containing the open-source fork of it: https://github.com/cheshirecats/CuriousWall

Thanks cheshirecat, you've done a great thing here.

My pleasure. It is very relieving to see people actually like it.

Well done. Made a user, and I hope to be contributing to your site, especially if you finish that dump procedure I asked for in your site.

UX nitpick - the site disables my Mac trackpad "swipe to navigate back" feature. Your site picks up the lateral scroll as a vertical scroll. Frustrating for trackpad lovers like me.

Otherwise, great minimalist interface!

I agree with this too. I, too, am looking for a non-conventional forum that I can integrate into a webapp I am building.

I would love for someone to port this into a Rails engine or a Ruby gem or something.

I concur in all the above. The application is responsive, powerful, and well designed.

Yeah this would be a really nice private company chat system, a la Hipchat
