Are you able edit the graphics that are used or is it a template? My site looks a lot like that. PHPNuke isnt free though is it?

PHPNuke, I believe, is free. Also, I don't think you can edit the template...although I may be wrong on this one.

You can edit the template on Nucleus though, which is why I like it


Hmm, are you sure it doesn't work?? It works fine for me...

sure you can edit the template in PHP-nuke, it actually isn't that difficult, and there is even a primer on how to do this somewhere on one of the community sites, I think maybe nukecops but I can't be sure. It isn't a sinch, unless you just want to throw your logo in etc, but it doesn't take a rocket scientist either. PHP-Nuke is pretty good, I used to use it, but I got hacked so many times I don't think I'll go with it this time, I am thinking Mambo right now, but I haven't decided.

first group,
Siteframe, Nucleus, Wordpress are lite weighted and simple.. perhaps they are more likely blog.. if there are not much peoples involving then either of these are good.. e.g.. wanna do for software releases, game hacks release, entertainment group, artists, writers..and yo dun want much time to spend on web publish/tweak and just wanna launch about ur creativity over net!!!
second group,
phpNuke >> is good, lot of blocks yo can add in, lot of features, lot of hacks yo can find, but somehow heavy weighted(space), good as if yo are using for high-member demand community and very rapid posts/discussion/releases..
Geeklog or PostNuke >> is my second choice.. same feature as phpnuke but minor tweak have difference.. yo cant easily touch the core script to tweak as yo need..
VortexPortal >> as lot of ppls know..yes, good when yo are for gaming.. dun try other..
third group,
Mambo >> a bit complicated.. not so easy to touch the core engine.. but overall outlook is great!! some they limited the main feature!!
phpwcms >> some said good but i never tried before!!
phpWebSite >> took big heap of space, so not tried yet!! space-bandwidth constrain..

Open-source is free.. Close-source is money
iGamingcms seem good.. not tried before.. may be for gaming..

I'm going to give Nucleus a shot. Ill keep you guys informed on how it goes. HTen maybe I'll try a different one, like phpNuke and maybe size them up so other people can decide which one to use. Ill get to it tonight, going to a hockey game. Thanks for the advice guys.

Open source is software made for Non-profit, so its free, and if you was a developer you could look at the source code and tinker with it, closed-source is the opposite, developers don't allow you to look at their source code, and it isn't likely to be free, e.g Linux = open source, Windows = Closed Source!
