Not too many 'oops' with Xoops

I finally got FreakingIdiot.com back up and running. As opposed to this site, FreakingIdiot is run on PHP and mySQL using Xoops. Not surprisingly, the PHP version of portal hosting is much more flexible and easier to use then its ASP.NET counter-part. Although there are still some errors floating around, they don't bring the site to a crashing halt (they also aren't handled very well code-wise either, just like .NET portals). Xoops is easy to use and customize. It also has a few hundred different add-ons and a lot of newsgroup and website forum support and information. I believe that a CMS like DotNetNuke will one day become a great product, but most of the PHP script portals certainly outshine anything that has been coded in ASP.NET. Too bad I don't know much about PHP scripting though - my knowledge in that area is weak at best.

Can't someone make an open source portal that has better error and exception handling?
