Al - I think you hit the nail on the head. There are tons of people out there using DNN and customizing it to the tilt to suit their specific needs - and then there are others (thankfully in the minority) who constantly whine and complain about how dnn doesn't do this or do that. DNN has come a long way since it's inception and is only going to get better with time. There is a strong user community as well as developer community that is constantly trying to improve on the framework as well as the modules itself. I personally think that people sometimes lose focus of the fact that DNN is open source and expect to get 100% of everything to suit their particular need without thinking that the DNN team has to constantly walk a thin line between making a feature that works for one person verses a feature that can be used by the majority of the users out there.

AGREED!  I for one am amazed at the stability and utility of the core AND many of the free core modules.  I know some core modules are more stable than others.  I personally run dozens of websites on DNN + a handful of 3rd party modules.  The total price tag was only a few hundred dollars....A FANTASTIC DEAL!!!!  My sites have been running for years now are are rock solid stable with thousands of users.  Considering that the core is hundreds of thousands of lines of code and I have 3rd party modules in the mix, that's amazing.

I want to personally thank the core team and all the 3rd party module developers out there making DNN one of the best website platforms.  NICE JOB!!!!!!!!
