<grins> Do I detect a bias here Matt?? Don't you write articles for Evolt.org? Good ones, I'm sure, but still... :D

Re: (Admin) Behavior Take a look at the portals I referenced in my first email. I have included their URLs for convenience. http://www.devx.com/ http://builder.com.com/ http://msdn.microsoft.com/ http://www.macromedia.com/desdev/ http://www.evolt.org/ As you can see form the above URLs, there are a significant amount of developer resources available. In fact there are even more portals than just the ones I referenced, but I just picked the ones I am most familiar with. I really don't see how you compare FA and HoF to the above. Really take a look at Evolt.org though. I think they offer the closest thing to what a ColdFusion portal should look like. They allow anyone to submit content that is approved, rated, and commented on by the community. They have a vast tip database that is fed from their mailing lists. The code behind Evolt is maintained by the community. The two main things missing from Evolt is quality control over the articles and a code sharing library.
