> * "Community Management System"

Wow, I hate that phrase. I'm not running a social software (such as Orkut) 
or a glorified forum (such that it's ONLY forums) nor is anyone else I 
know using Drupal (besides perhaps that video upload site thing). I'm 
running a *content* management system - I can run a Drupal site without 
giving a damn about comments, forums, or outside contributions (and, in 
fact, here's an example of one: http://cinema93.com/). People will 
recognize the original term CMS as equivalent to "manager of content" and 
immediately see the above as "manager of community" as opposed to 
"community created cms", which I hope was your original intent (if you 
actually did mean "manager of community", then holy crap, I've had the 
wrong worldview of Drupal for years).
