    Advertising (learn more)

    Advertise virtually anything here, with CPM banner ads, CPM email ads and CPC contextual links. You can target relevant areas of the site and show ads based on geographical location of the user if you wish.

    Starts at just $1 per CPM or $0.10 per CPC.

Anyone know what CMS this site runs?

    It looks custom to me, I can't think of anything that does .html and a main.html page at that. Wordpress is decent, it's not terrible, it's widely used, but it's bad for larger sites (not as bad as some though). It depends on the traffic, custom is never a bad idea, but there is a fair chance of modding word press to do this type of work.

    I agree with the post above.

    And yes wordpress can be modified to work as a full fledged cms. I've seen a couple of sites with integrated SMF. The best part was that it never seemed like the forum was external.

    Use wordpress and modify it. If you know php you can modify all you want.

    It's definitely custom, or a customized version of wordpress.

    The thing about a custom code is, what about updates? With a premade script on the market, they will always be performing updates. But with a custom code, the updates are non existant unless you hire a freelancer to upkeep with the code again or fix any bugs. This is the only drawback, but if you can somehow find a reliable coder to work with, I suppose this would not be an issue.

    Why don't you use oscommerce. There are a lot of good templates out there. Oscommerce is an online store.

    i would always suggest joomla

    very easy to setup and very powerful if you want to expand

    has several blog plugins and directory style plugins for listings etc.

    Thanks guys for all the feedback I'm not a coder so wasn't 100% sure. If any pro coders feel like they could create or modify a script to have the same functionality I would love to hear from you via pm.

    Looks like they use IBM WebSphere Studio with the relational dB.

    My guess would be a modded CMS. It wouldn't make sense to make your own from scratch when there's so much opensource out there which can be enhanced to suit your needs.
