Why Vanilla Forums?

I personally cant stand Vanilla, I think it has the single worst interface out of any major script. I dont recall the site, but I do remember one occasion where I didnt join a forum because it was Vanilla.

This is also why I can't stand Vanilla. I think it was a great attempt to try to introduce change and a creative look for forums but we are already so accustomed to a standard that the change is a negative aspect.

I feel it's more crowded and disorganized with Vanilla than say IPB, vB or MyBB.

If I had to go opensource, I'd only ever go with MyBB. My paid solution is and has always been IPB!
