Studying other CMS and installing them on the server to see if I find better solutions.<\/p>\n<p>I tried <a href=\"http:\/\/www.e107.org\">e107<\/a> and my attempt is still active <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cesspit.net\/e107\">here<\/a>. There is an incredible amount of stuff in this CMS but it also misses very basic features, like the possibility to group the news entries under the same &#8220;day header&#8221; and the possibility to classify each news with multiple categories. Anyway it&#8217;s probably the best CMS around feature-wise. And there&#8217;s also an awesome tutorial to theme it. Not easy at all but very powerful and well documented.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ll work a lot more with it because it&#8217;s one of those CMS similar to PHP-Nuke or PostNuke. A fuckload of features but nearly zero costomization that isn&#8217;t about the definition of how a block appears. I want to manage what&#8217;s IN the block.<\/p>\n<p>Now I&#8217;m working on something else and I&#8217;m in love. I found a forum engine that is absolutely wonderful:<br \/>\n<i>Tons of features. Simple. Amazingly fast. No images. Sleek layout.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a dream, it&#8217;s really the best you can ask from a forum and more. The engine is called <a href=\"http:\/\/www.punbb.org\">PunBB<\/a>. You can see it working <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cesspit.net\/simple\/forum\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>It has all the features of the most troubled forums engines like phpBB but combined in a perfect harmony that can easily seduce whoever passes by. It&#8217;s so beautiful that it&#8217;s a pity that I don&#8217;t have anything I can put in it. It feels too good to be left like that.<\/p>\n<p>I would love to see a good community using a forum so relaxing, easy to use and powerful.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve worked for various hours on this site.
