Hi, We realize there's more users - I wasn't counting users, rather considering the overall expandability and multifunctional use of a website tool. It's not the easiest to use as a developer, but once you get it, it is robust! Just thinking if you want to create a community environment and build on a more robust tool, Drupal's great. We love Wordpress too! Either way, we'll help.
