    hi,

    im looking for a good CMS that has to have some special features for my site.
    i already looked through a whole lot of the major CMS products and i used joomla earlier but for this kind of project i dont know what to choose.

    my project will look something like this:

    - will contain a lot of news updated daily

    - a database with a larger number of people in it
    this means every person in the DB will have a profile page with alot of stats about that person, dont mistake this for a social network, these people are not users of the site, those are professional rugby players and i want to database them so all the people can see what age etc. they are how many points they scored and all that stuff

    - of course they will be categorized in teams and countrys etc.

    - a big integrated forum/board with dicussion about the sport
    the forum should be integrated very good and different parts of it should accessible through the main menu, so that news, pages, infos etc melt together with the forum and you can get into discussion about i.e. a rugby team by being redirected from the profile of the team etc.

    - user management should be good

    i used joomla before, and i was happy with it for simple sites but this is a step forward and i dont know if joomla can handle that.
    joomla was easy to use for me, and was my first cms that i used but it seemed like it was made for "beginners".
    i looked into typo3, but this was another universe, too complicated and you have to write nearly everything from hand, or maybe i didnt understand it :D

    if anyone could help me i would be very happy.
    thanks in advance and sorry for my bad english...

    Not over complex, but not quite the newbie thing your looking for. Very very flexible, fast, and reliable. Customizable to all hell, and a very very secure platform.

    stick with drupal or joomla... but i think you will need a programmer for some of the function, or at least a little php knowledge. IDo not use wordpress for community sites, it is still too far away from cms, needs too much customization, and have a very stupid forum plugin.
