I'll agree its one of the better "blogging" CMS's out there as far as ease of use. As far as shear raw power, I personally find it lacking. Its cool MTV uses it though.

Its a shame they removed the copyright/linkback to wordpress...they don't deserve wordpress. They make millions and cant leave a damn link in the footer! Disgraceful!

Agreed. One linkback to wordpress couldn't hurt.

Or maybe they just got a programmer to make it for them, and he used wordpress instead of doing the job properly

That's pathetic - they didn't even get rid of it all together either. This is part of their page source code:

according to their meta they're using 2.6 so wp is secure no question about it, esp. if you keep on updating it.
