While a few years back phpBB was the best and most used forum around, this recently changed with Vanilla Forum, a small and innovative forum solution that has been getting all the attention recently.

With Vanilla Forum and in some cases bbPress, vBulletin and IP.Board being the go-to solution when it comes to online forums, this will surely change if more and more people learn about esoTalk.

Incredibly fast, very well designed and highly customizable, esoTalk is the dream of both developers, designers and SEO experts, providing a high-quality solution that looks and works great (actually awesome) at the same time.

esoTalk can be deployed as both a community forum, an Intranet, a documentation site, a customer support system and even as an internal messaging system.

Using an advanced permissions system for both channels and topics, the admin and the conversation starter can decide who gets to see and interact inside a forum channel or thread.

This makes the conversations and users much more easier to handle and moderate, without having to install complicated plugins or add-ons.

And if talking about plugins, esoTalk supports them too, along with themes for easily skinning the forum's homepage to fit any design it needs to fit in.

All in all, esoTalk is a modern solution for running a forum script in a post-Web 2.0 Internet.
