The World is Mine

Vanilla Forum is one of the most used open-source PHP systems for running an online bulletin/message board. From support forums to troll-haunted tech boards or just a simple Q&A consultancy website, Vanilla can handle it in stride.

If an avid forum troll, you might have recently noticed a massive change regarding the platform most forums run on.

Once the king of all open-sourced forum systems was phpBB, but for 1-2 years now, especially in tech and support forums, the main choice has been Vanilla.

Boasting a fast admin panel, a constantly growing modules repository and a unique and memorable interface for displaying forum topics, Vanilla is one of our Editors' go-to script when it comes to recommending an open-source forum to our users.

Of course, we weren't the only ones that noticed Vanilla. Some big name companies like Mozilla, Penny Arcade, HubSpot, PremiumPixels, CSS-Tricks and many more are using it for their communities as well.
