Any differences between this and Vanilla (http://vanillaforums.com/ http://vanillaforums.com/), which has an abundance of community-created add-ons (http://vanillaforums.org/addon/browse/plugins http://vanillaforums.org/addon/browse/plugins) and the ability to really customize the forum to however you want it? I'm on a board that uses it, and we've been able to integrate inline private conversations into public threads, multi-user private conversations, the ability to draw a post instead of write one, etc.
- codinghorror 14y agoA bunch of differences, but the big one is that we're 100% open source. No crippled-unless-you-pay business model here, personally I find those irritating. Vanilla is certainly much more mature since it's been out longer. Discourse is new as of today, so we've got a long way to go.

- codinghorror 14y agoNot true, the open source version of vanilla does not contain all the features. Certain features are pay only.
