Anecdotes
The original HTML code of the CMS was horrible—a nightmare of table cells and other horrible coding practices. I had taught myself to unlearn those ancient methods and now they throw it back at me? I hated it! Worse was that the code in the PHP files were encrypted! Yes, closed-source. If one wished to add a contact form, the people at the forums would suggest using an iframe! What kind of thinking is that? Too much hackery here and there.
At least AC looks good. It was based on the look of the blog. I also like the sorta’ kinda’ typographical logo (please critique!). Has a classic and Web 2.0 feel to it.
