Too many options and I'm indecisive as to which direction I wanna go.

phpNuke, I'm familiar with, but community seems near dead.
Joomla has great community, but seems slow.
DragonFly community IS dead, but maybe I can just code what I want with help from a few others here?

I didn't like the forums for drupal.








This is a brief layout of what I won't go without on the new software, if there is going to be one.

They have "CMS critics" now?

I'm not sure Kevin is interested in paying over $2000 for his CMS.

There sure are a lot more CMSs than I ever imagined.

phpNuke - Currently as it stands there are numerous vulnerabilities that affect all versions of PHP-Nuke, including the latest release 8.1.35. Until a new release is made it is strongly recommend to avoid this software.


Interesting.

Would that include Dragonfly, which is a fork of phpNuke?

DragonFly was developed DUE TO the security issues of phpNuke. ;)

Bringing over the database from DragonFly CMS to phpNuke will be time consuming, but very doable. posts an posts_text are a snap.

[strike]phpNuke does not appear to have sub categories.[/strike]


Edit, nevermind, figured out away to do it with a hack.

since you locked the thread that deals with what we like about you in mean your site (sometime you have no sense of humor.)
I thought I would post here.

Montana Bob does such a great job with his stories it would be nice to have them all in one place inside the random babble fourm.
I was telling some friends about his latest escapade with the Elk cow and the submariner and I was wishing I could pull up 3 or 4 more of them.
just a thought.
