I'm guilty of both sides, games.freebasic.info is a mess at the moment but is updated when new games (not demos at the moment) are released. Have been working on blog.freebasic.info but still in it early stages.

I think Plasma (phatcode.net) has a very good working model of an easily configured CMS. Don't know how easy but from the looks of it, I would say its nice.

The idea with Insight (.freebasic.net) was that it was user-submitted content. Not entirely, but enough so that we don't have to pull content out every week. Problem was, we got busy, and got a grand total of 2 submissions from the same person. Like Nek said, interest didn't seem too great.

As for the project tracker, I just built something very similar in Django that would take only a little bit of time to accomodate into project tracker--I'm willing to do it. It's sort of what is like right now on http://www.pygame.org.

Problem is, Django is python-based, and I don't have a web host atm that will run Django. If anyone has hosting that does have proper Python capabilities (anything that will run Ruby on Rails will be dandy) I can set it up over this weekend.

I agree with most of the sentiments on this thread, though, for the most part. I definately would love to see a proper FB magazine.

There was another one but they haven't done another issue yet and something tells me they're not going to...hell, I don't even remember what it was called. If I can find some time over this week, I'm going to start up FBOA, QBOA's "sequel".

If you mean PCopy, we try to get it out this week. Alltho, it's not FB/QB only mag.

If I had time, some help and somewhere good to host it I would might consider to create something similar to what Vplanet once where.
