EE in the Wild: Revolver Magazine

In March, agency Electric Orange relaunched the Revolver Magazine on EE 1.6. Interestingly, the site (and all of its users) was moved from Drupal and the forums from PHP BB to the EE forum module. From the forum post about the launch:

This site has a ton of content and a wide variety of content needs. It is a major online magazine with significant traffic and Expression Engine was flexible and powerful enough to meet all of their feature requests. The client has been extremely happy with Expression Engine and finds updating content much easier than with Drupal.

In order to migrate the site from drupal, we exported it with a Drupal Movable Type export and imported it using the Expression Engine MT migration tool.

The add-ons used were the usual suspects from Solspace (Tag, Freeform, User), FieldFrame, LG Live Look and others. Read the forum post about the launch and for a complete list of the add-ons used.
