  1. Re:Go static unless you NEED dynamic content on Ask Slashdot: What's The Best CMS? · · Score: 1

    "Unless your site specifically *needs* dynamic content, such as being able to allow users to make comments on articles, etc,"

    That's exactly what we do need, though. There are a bit over 2200 existing registered members some of whom visit the site for their personal info and we want to be able to offer them their own mini subdomain websites, comment on and contribute tech articles, purchase stuff, upload files and photos, access members-only material, etc. The site also has to process payments for membership signup and renewal as well as training courses.

    "But the fun lies in the joint puzzle-solving, which spurs tourists and companies alike to pay just under $30 a person to play."

    "The venues are relatively easy to set up: Create about six themed puzzles, find a room or two to rent and decorate, and advertise on social media."
