eXtensible Object Oriented Portal System, and it used to be a fork of myphpnuke, I think, but completely rewritten to be Object Oriented.

HAHA! And of course, once I see that you wrote that, this appears at the top of the site:

Is it pronounced "Ex-Oops"? That is how I've been saying it anytime I tell someone what kind of a system my sites run on. They still look at me like I'm from the moon, which is stupid because I'm obviously from Zalderon.

I'm still calling it Ex-Oops. It sounds cool that way. I fear that this is like the movie "Gigli"...no one knows how to say it lol.
