Could someone explain to me what kinda modules I would need for a site like this?
What I'm basically trying to do is:
Develop a site where users can register and upload images that would have to be approved.
List the images by Name,Date, Most Downloaded, Highest Rating (star system)
When an image is clicked, goes into a page with a bigger image, user comments, rating system.
Page with just gallery of images that enlarge on click! using lightbox or something similar.
Is this possible with drupal 6??
Comments
absolutely
This is definitely possible with Drupal 5 as it currently exists. I would use CCK, Views, Imagefield, Thickbox and Fivestar modules. If you want to use Drupal 6, then you might have to wait a short amount of time for each of these to be updated. However, since they are major modules, they should be updated soon if they haven't already.

Would it be better to go
Would it be better to go back to drupal 5 even though 6 is out? I would like to stay current, but if I don't go with drupal 5 I guess joomla is my other option? And also, on logopond it has the individual images. in drupal, what would those individual images be? nodes?
stick with 6
I would stick with 6 and wait a little bit. The key modules should be updated soon. You should create a node/content type called "logo". Then you should use imagefield to associate various images with each logo node. So, for each company's logo, you would have a single node. That node would then have all of the various images that you need via imagefield. Imagecache will create various sizes of the images for you so that you don't have to include multiple versions of the same image with each logo node. Does that make sense?
