  • You'll find that quite a few of the first users on here are nearly all from the same places :)
  • i was cleaning behind the sofa one day and there it was.
  • They were using vanilla at plogger.org and immediately got interested cause I was looking for the right forum to use on my site.

    google search for "messageboard" loved it immediately.
  • erm, not sure if mark told me about it or i just randomly checked the domain
  • i watched it grow from a seedling into this. to see his work at this stage and to see everyone coming in with so many great ideas and involvement - is awesome.
  • I found it and tried it out on opensourcecms.com, and I've been hooked ever since :)
  • yayhooray maybe.
  • i was searching for a cms that could hold a community around personnal reading experiences nothing was ok, too much gadget, nothing customizable always like little about this one, and little about the other one but there was no perfect deal... i'll check for a forum and find vanilla, in opensource cms, for another project... finally, with a bit custom, vanilla will fit for the litterature community :)
  • I saw it linked on Rands in Repose (the Jerkcity guy's blog), and liked what I saw when I checked it out.

    I read about it on digg.com not too long ago --> http://digg.com/software/Vanilla_1_released
    I loved it so much that I translated it to my mother language so other people from Brazil could enjoy it too :)

  • funny... I just saw cssbeauty.com last night... pretty nice little site, but man, vanilla makes it shine. I discovered vanilla when browsing the forums for Lokesh's lightbox 2. I was trying to figure out how to integrate it with moo.fx and prototype.lite.js so it would load faster. While browsing the forums I was struck by how nice the forum software was. It was unlike anything I had seen (faster, great minimalism, excellent ui, etc), and I had been looking for something good for a few different development projects I had up and coming. I clicked the link, and I've been feeling the warm vanilla lovin' ever since :)

    After a exhaustive search for forum board software that wasn't "bloated", easy to use, different, and simple. I was on opensourceCMS.com and found the setup for Vanilla. Tinkered a bit with there and decided to follow the link to this website. Read through the documentation and information here and decided this was what I was looking for. I will be setting up a forum board later today for my website. I guess I developed a taste for Vanilla...
  • saw a link on k10k.net (and the timing was uncanny)
