I've been looking for a simple, intuitive ASP.NET based CMS to handle my club/association site.

It should be

  • based on ASP.NET so I can add some extra specific pages
  • 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)
  • have features like news, forums, blogs, picture gallery
  • be simple and easy to use

I've been looking at

  • GraffitiCMS: 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 :-(
  • Sitefinity: 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
  • Umbraco: 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???).....
  • DotNetNuke: seems like a major overkill
  • Community Server: seems like a major overkill - and seems to be more and more commercial, only

Any others I've missed that I should have definitely looked at ??

I would have to go with DotNetNuke on this one, don't see how the "Free" version becomes major overkill as it provides all the functionality you require.
