[FM Discuss] forums (yeeech)

[John Curwood]

You're right, at the bottom of the page it says "powered by vanilla"  
and clicking on that takes you to http://vanillaforums.com.
Looking through the website it looks like it is open source and there  
is a "free" installation option that uses advertising.

OK reading the faq page there is a link to the  http:// 
vanillaforums.org/ website where you get the open source version of  
their software.

Cheers,

John
