    hi, i noticed that dates in the demonstration forum show up as "7 minutes ago ago by Bryan (view)", "1 day ago ago
    by Josh Goebel (view)", "Aug 23, 2006 9:07AM ago
    by Josh Goebel (view)".

    too many "ago"s. =)

    Rails apps don't have to look like they're made by 37signals. You have other choices.
