Serendipity Forums

Basically, I have a goal to create a web-site like kotaku.com and joystiq.com. Both of them are using Movable Type which has some essentials features these types of blogs need: an ability to share the rights with PARTICULAR users to post news, an ability for all users to register before posting comments along with adding avatar and filling custom fields, in other words – user profiles. These are 2 very needed feautures. Can Serendipity handle that? Maybe some plugins will work?
I’m soo tired searching for a blog CMS which can do those 2 things. Any advice on any CMS will be appreciated.

Hi!

You can setup Serendipity so that authors are able to post news and have privileges related to their usergroup they are a member of. The same plugin also allows people to register before they can comment.

Another plugin allows people to fill in their user profiles, also with avatars.

So basically, I think that serendipity is capable to do what you want.
