  <p>What is the rails convention regarding names of boolean fields?</p>
  
  <p>For example, if I have a <code>User</code> model that needs a flag for its "activeness", should I call the db field <code>is_active</code> or <code>active</code> ?</p>
  
  <p>Note: Rails automatically generates question-marked methods for accessing boolean fields: <code>User.is_active?</code> and <code>User.active?</code>.</p>
