Great, so the new approach to some refreshing honesty about Joomla’s code is to try to hack the sites of the messenger.

Just when I thought the Joomla crowd had reached rock bottom, you surprise me again.

You are welcome to review our WP sites at JoomlaDayNYC.com.

Your sample site is not particularly attracive, but does load reasonably spritely. The site could be built in any CMS from what I can see. I don’t see any advantage to Joomla, WordPress or Drupal for such a site. Actually advantage to WordPress and Joomla, as it would be cheaper to develop such a site in either WordPress or Joomla.

Hi Mike,

You posts are boring and repetitive. And mostly ad-hominem.

Anything insightful gets posted. Preferably pithy.

Why did you sensor my thought for the day, I was finally taking you a little serious.

It is not as you described, it was not as long as the one on April 4th posted above. I saw it posted as it waited approval.

My thought is it was truthful and you took a personal offense. Outside of making a statement that I did not think you did your research , I did not say much about you.

Go ahead and post it, it is not my best work.

But I will suggest a session at the Joomladaynyc.com event coming in September to review all your WP sites.
Alec, may I ask if we can use one of your sites to see how secure it is?
And please make it a complex site.
(No the site for this year is not done yet)

As to a complex Joomla site look at jfkmc.org. I built that. (no longer associated with it)
Rebuilding recrib.com in 2.5, then adding new functionality. (The current site was built by another party that did WP sites. I guess Joomla was to hard for them)

Definitely go for LAMP if you have a choice. I know the Windows version can work, but it’s a pain to work around.

Hi Mike,

Usual dilettante rantings from someone who doesn’t know what CMS or even framework to use and thinks everyone else is as clueless s/he is.

Really go and look at our portfolio and compare it with the miserable crap you’ve done and tell me after that your opinion on frameworks or CMS has any relevance here.

I.e. put your money where your mouth is.

We do every day.

Frankly I’d like to hear from accomplished Joomla developers who have a portfolio and the credentials to back their opinion. The only Joomla advocate with the work to back up his viewpoint I’ve seen is Brian Teeman.

Would you care to reveal to us what that “more” is for which you need Joomla or Drupal? i.e. which cannot easily and more effectively be executed in WordPress.

Hi Dewita,

If you need protection from spam, allow me to recommend FV Antispam which works hand in hand with Akismet to reduce spam to almost nothing (FV Antispam gets the machine spam first and Akismet gets the human spam afterwards).

If you have a difficult to moderate site, our Thoughtful Comments is great, allowing the site owner to do all the moderation in the front end in context.

In your reply to a post we made, I did not say we cannot finish our site (why change my statement), I said we are working on other projects presently, two new software’s and two sites for scratch. Of which most likely we will use our own frame work, or possibly working with Code Igniter, Cake PHP, Kohana, Ruby on Rails.

Regarding our present project you referred to we will go back, use the same present frame work or build from our own framework, not to be so concerned.

[long boring usual repeated ad hominem insults, I mean pages and pages of them]

This has become a little more entertaining and a little less Encyclopedia like.

You don’t have enough rights to do this. If you have enough rights you can try to use:
Start –> Run –> Gpedit.msc –> User Configuration –> Administrative Templates –> System –> Ctrl + alt + del options –> Then disable the following gpo: “Remove Task Manager”

Few remaining strenghts? What do you mean? Joomla is great you are clearly riding one hourse and this website is clearly a WordPress blog.
You are not only missing the great community features of Joomla, I could name many more. And let’s face it pages/blogs, custom layouts, foto & video gallery’s you can create with just about any decent CMS, but when you look for more you need atleast Joomla and if possible Drupal.
