There are free forum hosting services out there of varying quality.
HH started off on one, though that particular one is no longer available.
Yeah, but I don't want to make a site that is like HH.
I want an interface like Tv Tropes of 2011.
I want a green bar on the top of the screen that says you have a private message.
I want a forum that has sections so there can be many threads active at one time, and we don't have to have megathreads or lose small threads.
And dang it, I don't want this posting box at the end of a page! I want to click "write post" and go to a different page, where I write a post and then hit, "submit post".
I want signatures on the bottom of the post, and timestamps in the upper left (at least we have that).
I want thread watchlists, and no quote button, and

we could change the forum layout to emphasize the different categories, but I don't know if I want to do that...

Something about the more traditional phpBB-style layout does appeal to me, admittedly, though I think Vanilla's minimalistic design is well-suited to HH.
This is your forum, you are the admin, and you don't need to do what the posters say.
You're waaaaaay too lenient and waaaaay too easily swayed by the posters here.
I mean, you guys worked so hard to make a nice new color scheme, and we complained, and you gave us back the old color scheme.
You have the authority to make and enforce rules.
You can ban on a whim and wipe posts and you could delete this entire thread! I mean, have you looked at, say, Dragon Cave forums (oh man, that takes me back to 2006)? There were, like, polls where 83% of the userbase strongly feel that a certain issue (hoarding of yaddayaddagettingofftopichere) needed to be addressed because old users were putting newbies at a huge disadvantage, and many of the old guard were all like, "yeah, you need to be doing this thing", and TJ, the admin and site runner, was all like, "lolno. Hoarding does not exist. There will be no more discussion or mention of "hoarding" on this forum, enforced by ban. You can yaddayaddagettingofftopicagainblahblahblah " anyways, the point is that the issue was never brought up again and only newbies ask about it (the old guard explains it to them).
Anonus, you have powah. Unlimited powaaaaaaaah!
You have waaaaay, waaaaaay more restraint and waaaaay more consideration for those under your authority and using your site than I would have in your place.

Maybe it's because Vanilla and the modern internet have spoiled me, but recent years have made it increasingly difficult to go back to traditional forums because of how comparatively esoteric they are.
Weird thing is, Vanilla actually vaguely resembles the in-house message board software that Nick.com used, though with a more complete feature set (and a more streamlined post workflow, mostly because Vanilla doesn’t screen every post through the administration before making them public). I think that may be why I was able to get hooked here, in addition to the community itself; I used to frequent their boards as a kid, so this was more or less a natural evolution of the habit.

Bad year for you? I like to think I will solve my problems this year. But I said that last year, and the year before. Let's try to have an okay 2015. I will try.
More people have said that and been killed than there are thorium decay products.
2015 so far for me is... a little interesting. Just like last year. And the year before. I think I'm a courageous person who has many experiences, some of which are nice and some of which are nasty surprises. I hope I am more mentally stable by the time this year is over and in a better life situation.
last night i was sitting by the fireplace when i noticed something sticking out of the tiling slightly
pulling at it a little it came loose - a one shilling piece dated 1958. being pre-decimalisation it would be reasonable to assume it's been there since 1971 at the latest

Remember what your nation did with currency when you want to make fun of us for not adopting the metric system.
Sonic would find Ray's relatively lazy nature while not doing the hero thing abhorrent, and Ray wouldn't be impressed by Sonic's seemingly endless desire to be COOL and HIP.
England cannot criticize this continent. Nobody in Eurasia can.
This continent gave Eurasia potatoes, raspberries, blueberries, corn, potato, punpkins, and peanuts.
Eurasia gave this continent smallpox, english ivy, european starlings, hemp, and dandelions. Also, typhoid, malaria, measles, cholera, gypsy moths, and zebra mussles.
CONSARN IT, ENGLAND'S BEST FLAVORING WAS PARSLEY BEFORE THE COLUMBIAN EXCHANGE. PARSLEY.
Now, as for the people on this continent, maybe. Maybe.
But dang it, the Americas are strictly better biology and geology-wise than Eurasia, and strictly not as great as Australia.
There should not be illegal marijuana growing on Utah's lovely mountaintops. What in the heck is this asian plant doing anywhere near the great salt lake?
Colorado, I blame you. You were beutiful, once. You were lovely, one of the world's great wonders.

It all started with a building called Koffolt Labs. For years, the building stood there, indicated by a simple, straightforward sign:
190 West 19th Avenue Koffolt Laboratories
Then in the 2010s OSU built a new building, and decided to call the new one Koffolt Labs instead. The shiny new building had its own sign:
151 West Woodruff Avenue Koffolt Laboratories Chemical and Biomedical Engineering Building
And for about a month, the signs coexisted, with both buildings proclaiming themselves Koffolt Labs and students referring to "Old Koffolt" or "New Koffolt".
Then, about two weeks ago, somebody at FOD finally caught on and removed the sign from the 19th Avenue building. Problem solved, right?
Well, fast forward to this morning, where I went to the old 19th Avenue building, but found a new sign outside the entrance:
151 West Woodruff Avenue Chemical and Biomedical Engineering Building
I noticed the mistake, but didn't think much of it until I got inside...and met a very confused Domino's pizza delivery worker who couldn't find his customers...because the sign had misled him into thinking he was in 151 Woodruff when he was in 140 19th.
"151 Woodruff is actually next door," I said. "The sign is wrong."
He thanked me and went on his way, off to bring someone a well-deserved pizza.
But apparently word got out about the confusion, since no more than an hour later, when I got out of class, the erroneous "151 West Woodruff" sign had already been removed.

The biggest actual customization we've made was moving the sidebar back to the right-hand side (Vanilla 2.1 puts it on the left by default).

Have you already forgotten about the megaheap, the jammies thread, and about 1,000 other examples?
this year's actually been pretty neat. good friends, not a whole lot of wanting to jump in front of a truck, life's nice.

Both consider Mario a friendly rival though.

Now to sit and wait to see what happens next.
