Fuck Wordpress

I'll throw down a big vote for looking at Drupal. I run a bunch of mainstream sites on it and it has fantastic capacity to run multiple sites on one installation. There are a lot of features for "throttling" content delivery and the caching system is very good. I'm only just recently re-doing an adult site or three with it so I'm still working out which modules/optimizations/etc. are best for this space, but my experience in the other side of the 'Net is pretty good.

It's a very good system, IMO. I'm not an expert on massively-trafficked sites, but there are many huge sites running on Drupal... The Onion, for instance. (I know that as UW says, high traffic news sites aren't running anything oob, but still, the system is built with stability & scalability in mind.)

Two cents deposited.

Hmmmm, drupal's not bad, I've messed with it a bit.

I wonder if anyone's built any large adult sites with it? Anyone know?

I have no idea wether drupal would be free of this apparent wordpress problem. It does have a reputation for stability.

I had to check again to confirm the multisite thing - looks easy and doable.

I might try it, just to mess with drupal more than I have.

If you decide on cool modules, it would be interesting to hear about it.

It might have been on the Drupal site but in my research I did run across a testimonial from a mainstream site that had "outgrown" their wordpress install and ported everything over to drupal and are extremely happy and continued on their growth.
