Joomla! Discussion Forums

With wellies becoming more and more of an icon of fashion, and so many different styles of wellies available, I decided to create a site based around the famous footwear http://www.igroopz.com/lovewellies/. I know it sounds a bit weird, but it's the first thing that came to mind

The site is built on Joomla 1.0, is completely free to use, and I make a little cash through adsense / ebay to fund hosting and development. It's a prototype which, if it performs well and is popular, I will use the code base to create more new sites.
As you might notice, I decided to concentrate on functionality over looks, but I think the right modules, adsense etc on the front page create quite a good look anyway.

The site includes:
Fireboard forum - modified template to include adsense
RS Gallery - updated rating to dhtml, template modified for adsense, jcomments integration
feed2post for automatic content from ebay, youtube, google, flickr
RD RSS created feeds from content categories
a modified slick rss reads these feeds and displays as image grids on the front page
community builder provides "dating" style functionality - has all the frills for social networking (messaging, profilebook etc)
modified community builder lists to allow $_GET variable to be used in filters
Seyret with modified template for adsense & dhtml rating
mod_usersplash shows new, popular and online users
xmap provides google sitemaps

Many other changes and mods that I forget now.
I'm still working on it and adding new functionality all the time.

Please take a look - I hope you like it. http://www.igroopz.com/lovewellies/
