Topic: What does "vanilla" mean?

Hey all. I'm fairly new here and am trying to get up to speed on what's going on where and all that jazz. But every so often, I see the term "vanilla" referenced to the game. What does this mean?

Re: What does "vanilla" mean?

Vanilla refers to the original, unmodified game. (like  vanilla is plain icecream)
