MyBB Community Forums

I'm in need of a CMS, to power my website. It is currently running MyBB and releasing plugins/applicaitons from a forum isn't easy

I want a good, popular cms with plenty of modules/plugins. So far I have come across drupal and Joomla.

My thoughts so far:

Drupal:
- Very extendible, very customisable
- No many themes I dont REALLY want to have to pay more than $40 for a theme, which kind of puts custom ones out fo the picture.
- Not that many themes out there, that look remotely how I want anyway
- One good-ish theme that i might be interested in is: http://drupal.jackncode.com/smooth/

Joomla:
- Lots of themes, lots of modules
- Used it before
- No themes as of yet I like, but there are at least 10x more to look through than Drupal
- Not as powerful
- Kind of like this theme: http://themeforest.net/item/genesis-busi...iew/681145


Anything else anyone can add? Or any sleek, grey, black and white themes anyone can find, like above posted themes.


Thanks,
Tom

Urgh. Neither IMO - never been a Joomla/Drupal fan. Ever. You state the need for modules, but what modules do you need exactly? I'm a personal fan of PyroCMS (read: I absolutely love it), though it's not too well known - creating themes/modules is an absolute breeze though. There's also MODx which is fairly good.

I like Joomla, especially because it has JFusion for MyBB integration

I'd suggest Drupal. Like 90% of Joomla plugins for some reason seem to be incredibly insecure. Not sure why, just something i've noticed.

+1
I need to take another look at PyroCMS, thanks for the reminder, euantor.
MODx is also great for people with moderate to advanced coding skills

I wish something like jFusion was available without being tied to Joomla!

Drupal (even without many mods) used to make an insane amount of db queries /page (??? well over 120 queries I read somewhere ??); Do you know if that has been greatly improved yet?

...and/ or is the speed much better in recent versions?

Between the 2 drupal hands

I know you're decent with CSS so I would recommend just picking up one of the starter themes (you can do everything you'll need through css alone with them). The one I found the best was Adaptive themes starter one.

I know you want a lot modules and stuff but what are the must haves I can look for something .

Joomla is really better and easier to use than Drupal. Working with Drupal is really difficult and if you are not professional, choose Joomla.

I personally prefer Joomla. The support is better, there are way more modules and it's way more flexible.
