yeah, when looking at it, I am realizing that I need to slim it down. When I get the right combo I like, I'll do it. Actually, your suggestions are pretty much right on.
Right now, I'm only gonna spend another day or so working on the forums, and then start on the site itself. If any of you guys are interested in doing any articles, PM me, I'm going to install my news system, and build it up, so I can start putting the major content into it.
I also need a better theme, and need to work on that. What do you guys think of the current theme? I like how it works, but it wont come anywhere near validating, and eventually, I'd like the entire forums to be W3C complaint (maybe a pipe dream). The actual site will be, but not so sure about those forums.
Dannyboy, do you know anything about modifying vbulletin? Is it a fairly easy process? If I use it, I would like to be able to develop my own W3C compliant theme for it.
