I frequent a handful of forums, and most of my favorites use Vanilla. Vanilla is great because the first view you see is a list of all recent discussions instead of categories, which is nice because it is only one click to read a thread rather than two or more. Also, the objective of Vanilla is to be a minimalist forum, not many default features, very fast, very extensible. Because Vanilla is very basic by default, it is fun to customize. I use it for Nice.
These screenshots are of some really nicely designed forums that I like. They are used as support and bug reporting for different services. Similarly, I use a Vanilla powered forum to manage freelance work and other projects.
Anyhow, use Vanilla, it is cool. Use it.
