Anyone use Invision Power Services software products?

like Invision Power Board and the Community Blog product?

I'm looking info pertaining to scaleability, security, etc. I have a couple projects where I need a scaleable community blog, and IPB has a pretty good rep.

How is the support?

Invision Power Board is great. The Blog or Gallery or other modules are written by 3rd parties mostly and not the same development team that writes the Forum product. It might be a lot more resource intensive than necessary to run a good size community blog.

Look into Drupal.

Thanks Brujah - I had no clue the other products were third-party dev.

Whatever I use will be incorporated with Xoops - a couple existing sites and others in development. Drupal looks pretty decent as well. I'll check that out as well.

Thanks again, Brujah

Drupal rocks for personal blogs.. wow. Install was smooth, and it's simple to configure and use. Looks like there are some decent modules available as well.
