Currently using wordpress

GOAL: Encourage, empower and facilitate people to spot and post unusual stuff (Not an original idea) in business niche.

1. I want 100% control of what is displayed on home page – only featured ‘finds’ by editor

2. I want it to work like familiar old wordpress but only difference is that ‘finders’ get their own account page.

3. Simple simple simple and idiot proof.

– Is Buddypress a good solution or no?
– Any example sites I can look at?
– What features should i disable to keep it clean and simple?
– Advice?

1) You can control what is displayed on your home page by manually modifying the home page template.

2) Not sure what you mean here.

3) The bp-default theme has been criticized for throwing all the features of BP at the user. Features can be disabled in the BP admin area, as well as through a custom theme. Test out BuddyPress on the test site – http://testbp.org – see if it fits your needs.
