Vanilla was born out of the desire to create flexible, customizable, and downright entertaining community solutions. Vanilla has been used to power tens of thousands of community forums around the world and we couldn't be happier if you've decided to use Vanilla to grow yours.

1. We've reimagined traditional forums for mass-appeal.
2. Our theming flexibility is second-to-none.
3. Impossibly good integration options with single sign-ons and embedding.
4. The best tools available for community management.
5. Curated features with great plugin options, not the kitchen sink.
