<p>I've been looking for a simple, intuitive ASP.NET based CMS to handle my club/association site. </p>
<p>It should be</p>
<ul>
<li>based on ASP.NET so I can add some extra specific pages</li>
<li>offer a membership system, e.g. I want to be able to define members which can e.g. comment posts, while anonymous users can only read (no active participation)</li>
<li>have features like news, forums, blogs, picture gallery</li>
<li>be simple and easy to use</li>
</ul>
<p>I've been looking at</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>GraffitiCMS</strong>: so far my favorite, but it has no forum, and no membership system, and no future, it seems - no development whatsoever in over a year :-(</li>
<li><strong>Sitefinity</strong>: had extreme trouble even getting it installed, and when it's finally up and running, I find it overly complicated and not intuitive at all</li>
<li><strong>Umbraco</strong>: same problem - hard to install, hard to get up and running, the intro videos on their site are only available to paying subscribers (what's up with that deal???).....</li>
<li><strong>DotNetNuke</strong>: seems like a major overkill</li>
<li><strong>Community Server</strong>: seems like a major overkill - and seems to be more and more commercial, only</li>
</ul>
<p>Any others I've missed that I should have definitely looked at ?? </p>
