G'day
We just launched the brand new V8 Supercars Fan Group 2012 website. Firstly, we switched from Joomla 1.5 to Joomla 1.7 - we have always been on 1.5 so something special for us.
Secondly, we totally revamped the Hybrid template from our 2011 version. We have always used a new template each year but changing Joomla versions was big enough.
Additional Extensions: FFPS, JCE, Jomsocial, Kunena, RokBox, RSForm Pro
Custom Development: New theme, new module positions, custom fonts.
Future Plans: Build the Mobile version of the site using the Gantry Mobile features, small bits will be changed to help get the website size down...tried to use RokGZipper which done the job but caused FPSS not to work therefore had to be disabled. I'll get there!! Also need to work on the Jomsocial theme.

Yes I have tried RokZip but that does not work with the latest FPSS and Joomla 1.7 versions.
I have contacted Rockettheme months ago without a single response yet..........
