I flame people who use phpnuke because I see too many of it and its too easy to just come up with a site thats using it.

When you make a site you wanna put all your effort in it. This means doing the graphic work in photoshop or fireworks then coding it all in notepad and creating something that you love.

Ofcoure on the way you could take some scripts and adapt them to suit you. Learn off them and make something of your own.

When I make sites that I put all my effort into and then see some other sites with phpnuke it makes me sick.
