Selecting which CMS engine to use for the new site is a freakin nightmare! But since I'm pretty much left behind in the NUKE world, I've decided to take a dive into other type of CMS.

The old malscene was build with the concept of visitors contributed content in mind. The site enable visitors (registered or not) to submit gigs & event info, news, articles and sometimes, we allow them to upload photos in our public photo gallery. This works fine for a couple of years but later on, as more people started to come in, it just went crazy. People submitted incomplete information, pasting text from forums which contains BBCODE (which is not supported in the old malscene), flood the event list with redudant entries and basically rendered the whole concept useless. We won't be able to publish a lot of news or article submissions due to this issues.

The new malscene will function differently. We'll appoint several web admins to manage the content. In this initial launch, we're only going to experiment this with gigs and events related information. If things worked out well.. then only we proceed with other categories suggested by our forum members.

So basically, the idea of making the site grow by itself didn't worked. you guys ler kelam kabut!

Anyway, We know some of you still need to be in malscene. With this in mind, we are rebuilding the site.

Check back often fellas!
