OK, so basic idea is a website essentially based on a list of members who sign up and, after complying with privacy disclaimers and stuff, find themselves listed with their nickname although I would keep their real names safely in a database. Maybe an avatar or a picture. I would probably look at adding other content such as embedded pics, videos, news, map of users, etc. Actually I might allow for uploading pics and videos at some point while forums and blogs I can use the obvious ones. So does anybody have suggestions for the easiest CMS for such purpose? I am considering going manual, but if there is one that is quite specific it would be nice... Thank you!
I don't know of any out of the box solutions that would do this. It almost sounds like you want to replicate MyBlogLog or something. That would have to be a custom job.
