 I still love it, and am hoping to spend more time with it again soon...
much to learn since the 4.7 upgrade, and I've got a few modules I need to
complete (and update for 4.7).

I think the issues started with a hosting issue, but I can't blame them
entirely. I also found a config option that in all likelihood was hurting
me.

It's quite a nice little CMS; I'm a big fan. 4.6 was a bit of a melting
pot, with tons of shit thrown in without much design; 4.7 was a good
lesson in refactoring, and (aside from the legacy stuff) is much nicer.

Easy to hack, easy to deploy... I like it. I tried a lot of the
competition a few years ago (admittedly a long time) and then when I
stumbled on Drupal fell in love. Could very well be years behind its
competition by now, I wouldn't know, but I like it, and it seems to be
growing and thriving.
