I recently launched a new version of the Hushed Casket website (http://hushedcasket.com). The Hushed Casket is my local gaming community. We were once hosted on a section of Bungie.net. We needed more features than was offered at B.net, so we bounced to a shared server and our own software.

We ran SMF (Simple Machines Forum) for over a year. I recommend that forum over ANY forum software out there. However, the community was long overdue for more Web 2.0 features. So, I ported the SMF database over to Drupal (a system I've used for over 4 years) and it is rocking. I ported over all users and all of their content (except for a few private messages).
