this one that I am checking out I think I am going to give a try

Its in its first baby steps as a script - so it has a long ways to go - but the one thing I really like is that it loads with decent speed. I do not know crap about optimization, but I have looked at all the files (and there is not that many - maybe a 1/10th of the other portal scripts) and none of them are really really big

the other big advantage is since I am running on a virtual server and do not control the fact that I am still on php3 that this is written in php3

I like what I see so far - can think of a few things that I would like to see added, but its a nice efficient script at this point. Admin could use some work, and a few other things - but --- I like.
