With Vanilla they wanted to break the mold created and followed by just about every other forum on the web. They sat down and thought about what they liked, and more importantly, what they didn't like about web forums. They wanted emphasis on the discussions rather than the statistics. They wanted to stop using MSN or AIM to send secret messages to other forum members. They wanted to be able to save the common searches. Basically, they wanted the thing to work for them instead of against them. Most importantly they wanted it to be free and they wanted it to run on just about every web server out there. So, Vanilla is a PHP / MySQL solution that is 100% open-source. You can take it and alter it and use it free of charge. This has been added to World Wide Web Reference Subject Tracer™ Information Blog.
