I am so damn busy as of late, well i am always busy :) Should we:

1. Just continue to use Joomla and add extensions to it and try to get the phpbb forums logins to sync with the site?

or

2. We have plenty of talented people right here, have the community make the buttons and logos and then have the community make the pages and basically build the site through the community?

I like option 2. :)

Syncing the Site logins and PHPBB logins should be pretty easy. From my experience though you would have to integrate the site to use the PHPBB user database. I haven't been able to get it to work the other way around. If you register on the forums it will give you access to the website. I don't know enough about the inner workings of PHPBB to get it to work the other way around.

I currently have a test version of the browser tutorial tied into my PHPBB forums. It works pretty nice and when you register on the forums it generates your game account. You then log into the game account and choose your class the first time.
