On today’s show we will be talking about one of my new favorite forum scripts out there. Vanilla is definitely not your ordinary message board script. It takes your traditional ideas of what a forum should be, takes out all the bad parts and leaves you with a functional flow of information – guaranteed.

Now, that might be a big claim to live up to, but I think the Vanilla forum script is more than capable to get the job done.
I want to share with you my thoughts on why Vanilla is one of the best forum scripts out there and a really easy way anybody can use it – no matter if you have a web hosting account to install it on or not.
I have talked plenty of times with you before on free forum scripts you can easily setup and run from your web hosting account. By far, the most unique one I have seen is Vanilla. The Vanilla Forums script is a great open-source, standards compliant forum script. However, that is not what impresses me.
If you think Vanilla looks like an awesome forum script, but your not sure if you can get things together as far as installing it yourself – you are in luck. If you don’t have a web hosting account or you would rather get Vanilla as an all in one package, try out their hosted installs of the script.
