first of all, i know it must be repetitive answering the same questions over and over (judging from another post i read down below) so i apologise if this one of those same threads.

Ive checked everywhere for a news script similar to what http://www.ffrepublic.com have, i find their layout of the newscript attractive but unfortunately i have a dull news layout http://www.ffanatic.com.

ive checked major news script sites for news scripts but after reading the descriptions they just sound like the newspro one i have. I was wondering if anyone here knows a particular news script which works well, has automatic archiving, nice appearance and features like what ffrepublic have?

my requirements can be any of the; php, mysql, cgi

Thanks in advance

Without knowing exactly what features you're looking for (though that's a good start what you have, thank you), I can't be too specific. With newspro, as with all other news or blogging scripts, the look is controlled entirely by the person integrating it. So you would have to add the details.

moveabletype.org has recently released v.2 which has been quite well received. It does the auto archiving thing, allows for categories, different looks, entirely different "news" centers, et cetera. It's designed to be a light content management system, but there is no reason you can't make it work for you as a news section.

Perhaps other people may have other options?
