Vanilla – Free forum script
// December 8th, 2008 // Scripts, Software
We all know about phpBB, SMF, myBB, the most famous forum scripts that are available for free on the internet, but very few actually know about any lite-wait script. The script I am talking about is used an a few popular website (I found it on MochiAds Community forum) but the script itself isn’t as famous as the other ones yet. But, that does not mean it isn’t any good.Vanilla is very lite (the download package has only 386k) but it is very good and also customizable. On the script’s website you can find a lot of plugins for almost anything you need. Just like most other forum scripts out there, Vanilla is open-source.
As for the administration, Vanilla has a nice control panel from where you can customize almost every aspect of the forum, install add-ons, Manage categories and much, much more. br /What about the system requirements? Vanilla can run on PHP4.1 or grater and it need a MySQL database (3.23 or grater). How good does it run? Well, it is compatible with al major browsers (Firefox, Safari, Opera, Internet Explorer) and as a personal experience, I had no problems on the Mochi forum.
As a conclusion, Vanilla is the perfect solution if you want a lite forum, without all those useless fancy stuff that other forum software have. So, what are you waiting for? Get Vanilla – Free, Open-Source Forum Software
