Simple forum software: Vanilla
I’ve been looking around for a simple forum software, but was disappointed with the bloated offerings from SMF and vBulletin. That was until I found Vanilla Forums. Vanilla is a free, open-source PHP-based forum software that is just about as simple as they come (that’s a compliment).
The tool has a really simple discussion thread format, several user permissions and registration modes and can easily be themed (or even embedded in your current site) to match any site.
If you’re in the market for a dead simple tool to use to host your discussion forum, definitely check out Vanilla.
