Drupal user, former XOOPS User.
I ran all my sites under XOOPS (a looooonnng time ago).
It was an easier CMS to configure and manage. I especially like the fact I could run a banner campaign.
Unfortunately, that all went to the wolves when I upgraded to 2.4. This was the coming of the end.
The platform had so many bugs that I could no longer gain control of the site structure.
Then someone introduce me to Drupal and I have not looked back.
It's really sad, because Xoop still offerred features that is not seen in the Drupal platform (without modification).
I also liked XOOPS for it simplisticy nature and it small size.
Because Drupal is so vast, the site often went down, but a solution was found to solve this problem.
Anyway, the downfall of XOOPS was the change of the development team and the lack of proper coordination of services.
EGO got in the way and everyone was trying to get their piece of the pie. As a result, the members who supported this platform were left hopeless.
It's a wonder that you guys didn't go out of business.
You were so far ahead of everyone else and now you hardly mentioned anywhere.
Joomla is a fairly new CMS and I have more hopes for it than XOOPS, because it has a great development team. But it is years behind DRUPAL.
*scratching my head* I don't know why I even brought that up.
Drupal is lacking in the forum integration area that attracted me to XOOPS.
But it can easily surpass XOOPS in this area with some modification.
Good luck XOOPS!
