Vanilla is no longer sweet.

The forum package Vanilla now has paid advertising links built into the download, according to its developer Mark.

Even though I don't use Vanilla, I think it's a decent program with a great goal. It's not phpbb-ish, but rather has a focus on the topics rather than the forum containers (much like bbPress. I do believe Mark has done a lot of good work on his projects.

Would you believe it? Yet another forum system! NulcearBB, still in alpha, is available.

While it looks just like every other phpbb-like sytem, I do have to say that I'm glad the developers didn't use blue for their site.
