Ok, as you may know, I have a website called Happy Gamer, located here:
http://www.hg.gamechief.net
I am using CuteNews, but I can't edit the whole website with CuteNews, and so that's what I want. Does anyone have any reccomendations of a CMS system that would be good for a gaming website with previews, reviews, games, consoles, mailbag, etc. sections? I would also like to be able to replace the default template of the CMS with my template (Currently on Happy Gamer).
I know you're all gonna say PostNuke, but think about it first. Just 'cuz it works for GT, doesn't mean it'll work nice for my site.
Any reccomendations?

mambo is easier then postnuke or try looking up cms or portal or php portals at hotscripts.com , there are around 50 great ones , 5 free great ones, 500 crappy ones, that arent free or great at all. Postnuke kinda sucks in my opinion but im too lazy to run a real website.

To branch off guru's comment; PHPnuke sucks worst. Too many hidden security probs.

Ok, so I found iGaming CMS. It seems to have a large community, and lots of sites that use it, so I'll try it. I'm uploading it now, then I'll install.

Well I've used it a fair amount now, and I'm liking it
It's quite easy, but in order to edit the template, I have to do it through FTP, 'cuz the "template file editor" doesn't really work. But that's the only problem I've had so far. I'll post problems if I have them.

I'll be sure to. Right now I'm editing the current template into my template.
