So i'm looking to overhaul my Clan's website at some point in the (very near) future - the current WordPress installation isn't exactly slick in design, and WP as a whole doesn't offer much on the way of Clan-based widgets/plugins.

I've already looked at/tested:

webSPELL
ClanTiger
DZCP

...and come to the conclusion that the Germanic Engrish mess that they are isn't worth my time. Couple that with the sparse development/updates - and they're struck off my list.

I installed e107 earlier - and it's looking very promising. It has a number of Clan/Online-Gaming plugins available, and a hoarde of snazzy templates that will only need a little Photoshop-ing to individualise. There seems to be a lot of buzz around the 'tubes about it and it's great security - so this seems a pretty solid option.

Putting that aside though, any recommendations for better/more-suited/FREE options..?

That's what my gaming clan uses. Then again, there are only 5 of us

We're using SMF for our forum at the moment, so the CMS will have to have a bridge or a facility to import the forum contents - posts, users and all.

freeforums.org looks good for what it is - i'm not disrespecting the service at all

That's a nice page right there... Looks like a custom job though - there's no Copyright, etc in the footer :/
Definatly inspiration though, thanks...

Actually the only thing it has to do with my dads business is he pays for hosting yearly.
