All in One

I love the customization features but most of all I know that with Buddypress pre-installed, it is easier to use for network sites. I am bout to really utilize all elements of custom community, and it is always my choice for themes whether a network site is being built or not. I just deactivate the buddypress but know its there if and when the client may need it. Sometimes the slideshow is a plus, sometimes I have had to use a different slideshow, but clients have more options with Custom Community than other themes.
