...which CMS do you or would you use?

I'd like to know about people who are running league, events or private-team based websites, if they use any particular CMS for any given reason. Or those people who were to run a site like what would they choose and why?

In our team we are using Xoops, but I don't like it very much.

The reason is I'm developing a league management module for Xoops, but it really lacks the basic documentation on developing third party modules, so it's being a pain in the ass.

I'm thinking about developing it well enough to make something useful so anybody could install it on their site and run and manage LFS leagues/events with it (at least simple ones). And I'm thinking of doing it for the most common or well received CMS amongs the LFS community (maybe even porting to a couple of them). It woulnd't be the ultimate league manager but would allow anyone to run a league without much effort (everything is done through forms and results are taken from lfs_stats results files -html-).

So I'd like to know about your impressions on how well a CMS would perform for a LFS competition site. At least it should have a forum, private messages, articles, a calendar and a shoutbox.

If you know of teams or league with big and well managed websites please tell me about what they use too.

Personally I make my own system for team or league websites. I did start making an automated league website where the admin just typed in some information in in the admin panel, clicked 'Apply' and it appeared the respective page. I need to finish it off as I'm going to use it for the website for my demo league. You are welcome to have a look at the source code if you want, just PM me.

I tried using Xoops and PHP-Nuke, but I gave up on both. I just ended up designing my own, which is still being developed.

I've seen a few LFS sites that use Joomla CMS. Don't recall the names now as i was browsing around when i noticed them.

I've designed several Joomla websites myself and it has all of the CMS features you are looking for (forum, PM system, calendar, etc.) and much more.

I've seen that Fusion RT uses joomla, but I don't know about anyone else. The fact is that I'm interested in joomla but I had a quick look at it and found out that it has too many third party modules distributed with a commercial license, which I don't like. It's gaining strength as a candidate though as I think it has very indepth decoumentation about it's architecture and module developing.
