Looking for a CMS for a Network Hub of Sites

I am looking for a SEO friendly CMS with good support to design a network hub site. It should be easy to use, with nice templates available and offer a proffesional look and plug-in / add on's for RSS feeds, news and forum integration. Can I get some recommendations and sample sites?

thanks

 

Joomla is my suggestion,
try my signature links or google


Joomla can be bridged with many forums.

 

What about wordpress? It may take a lot of customization and sometimes takes a while to get your head around it all when you're learning about it, but that can make an excellent CMS system, and the bonus is the WP community is massive and ever-growing, and always developing. So you will always get updates, new add ons and support.

 

lol WP is not CMS

 

Mmmm, I use wordpress on a a few blogs and I like it. I am just not sure it has the flexibility I need. If you know of a site that uses Wordpress this way please post a link.

 

WP is flexiable np .Just google "powered my wordpress" for blogs u can also find samples on there site.

 

my vote goes to joomla . it's flexable and complex
