What a dummie I am. I guess I noticed that earlier on but forgot about it. So usually all forums are like this, right?
Usually, because writing your own is a PITA even with modern frameworks like Symfony, Laravel, etc., and the intellectual problem a forum represents has been solved by existing solutions. New forum software, like, say, Vanilla, tends to simply be an iterative step made as a response to the perceived flaws in the older sofware.
Basically, unless you're learning or making an attempt to make (for all intents and purposes) a better wheel, sticking with what's proven to work is your best bet.
Unless you're talking WordPress. That shit needs to die in a fire.
