Xoops is great, it just seems to make sense to me, I got lost with Mambo

I use it on dariusmusic.net

I'd be happy to help anyone if they don't know how to do something.

I'm working on a fansite for a certain television show which shall remain nameless and I want to use a CMS.

Given that there's a level of support here for them I want to use either Xoops or Mambo but I can't choose.

Mambo's site does a better job of selling itself but the modules are hard to find, Xoops doesn't seem to even try selling itself but there's a whole bunch of modules so I'm kinda stuck.

So what would you guys recommend and why?

I need it to have a news blog, a forum and an image gallery as a minimum.

I'd also like to be able to have a fanlisting (http://thefanlistings.org) type element where people could join a fanclub.

Also, I'm pretty good with coding and I want to be able to make a template that won't be limited by default appearances. Are both systems completely editable? I mean, I know for some things it might be necessary to edit the code itself but that I can do. Mainly, and this may sound a little strange, I don't want it to look like it uses a CMS. I'm not trying to hide the fact that it does, I just want it to have my style of doing things rather than theirs.

Can you help me out folks?

Peaches,
Niu

Lindavester.net is a fan site, despite whta the majority of it's users many think (I get tons of email about "my show" and why "i should ask these questions").
