CMS anxiety
I'm sure several of you have dealt with CMS anxiety. The decision to go with a CMS was bad enough, but now I have more choices than I can deal with.
I've narrowed it down to a few, knowing full well there are probably some good ones that I haven't hear of yet. I'm avoiding nuke-based CMSs because their is too much negative stuff going on about them...plus I want something cleaner.
My main priorety is having a good integrated forum (I use Invision now), but also article and gallery modules and a fairly flexible permissions system.
The ones I am considering are:
Drupal
Geeklog
Mambo
PMachine (now that I saw links to it here at TWF...it looks nice)
Any thoughts?

Pmachine has a new version out that's more pricey but way more powerful.
I think the choice depends on what you need it for, really.
What do you need it for?

I'm intending on replacing TortillaBoy.com with a new site where the members can contribute more than just to the forum. Picture galleries, articles, chat, along with a good forum. I need to be able to edit the layout of course. It would also be nice to be able to supply members with their own blog.

whoa, that's a big idea. I wish I'd done something along those lines and could offer a solid suggestion.

Yeah, and I realize I may have to be prepared for a decent outlay of cash.

Well this site was suggestd at another forum... http://www.cmsmatrix.org/ It looks like a good place to compare even though it doesn't have ALL the CMSs available.

I suggest Mambo. It's got a good support community. User Friendly too. PHPNuke isn't secure and has many bugs. PostNuke is the better of the two, but it has an intense learning curve. Both are well supported with moduals and components. Definaly referance CMSmatrix.org. My favorite is Mambo, you'll be up and running in no time.
