Hi Mike,

There is some skins and customisations you can find at
www.mycommunityserver.org.

Community Server comes with full source code and to give you and idea as
to the stability of the product, the current release is v2.0 Beta 2 and
it is already considered stable enough to be run on
http://forums.asp.net(huge community) and http://www.hive.net. The
previous version is powering the Microsoft MSDN blogs
http://blogs.msdn.com/ .

I have been with the project from the start and think it is an amazing
product for the price, even a single site license to remove the logo is
only $180 I think.

The guys running the Telligent Systems company behind the project left
their jobs at Microsoft I think to continue this project full time which
shows their dedication to it.

Maybe that helps, maybe not.

Good luck.

Simon
