This is what I've been working with over the past year or so:
The Internet Animation Database:
http://www.intanibase.com/ I used the YAF Forum software as a stepping off point and developed the rest of the site around it. In addition, I'm using the same database and membership for users to be able to update specific pages, and leave ratings and comments on individual cartoons.
It's working really well! I just updated to YAF 2.2 and I must salute the programmers here foe the fine job they're doing with the YAF Forum software!
