Professional Joomla templates and extensions club

We've just launched Virtual Mentor. It is a site for local school kids to safely interact with mentors from the business world. The Creativa template (which was featured in the Joomla! People Magazine) was a great start. Even though it is in 'beta', it has worked well for us.

The site uses a lot of K2, JomSocial, and Kunena - I would probably have preferred using NinjaBoard, but this version of the site is a port from an older version and the site owner wanted to keep the original forum content.

I had to make a lot of customization to JS and Kunena to give mentors and administrators and kids totally different characteristics and capabilities. Maybe some of that could have been done with ACL rules, but I am more comfortable with hacking code that learning how to set up ACL rules!

The only thing I didn't customize was Morph/Creativa. That stuff is way too complex for my coding skills!
