PHP Nuke

[lookslikeapuma]

i don't think that PHP-Nuke sites should be allowed to enter the website contest. There's nothing wrong with using PHP-Nuke as your website, but using a pregenerated page, and adding text to it is kind of cheap, especially since other people developed their website from scratch and put a lot of thought in to it. It's also not unique, it would be as if FIRST gave us pregenerated robots for us to "customize" by drawing on them. Here are my analogies

Nuts and bolts = HTML tags
Robot parts (ex. arms) = Scripts (note that the developer makes this)
Robot design (framework) = CSS/HTML (again, the majority of the framework, or design is done by the developer)
Robot CPU = Scripting language (ex. PHP)

if you are using PHP-Nuke, you are taking a premade "robot" and adding content to it, thus you aren't technically 'developing' the website, rather adding content (BIG difference, anyone can write a paragraph, not many can make a valid XML 1.1 page)

again, these are my opinions, feel free to discuss.
