I am wondering what everyone one is going to go for, dynamic or static pages or a mixture.

So far my site, which is all forums, is completly dynamic using php/mysql and having links hitting mysql heavily as well would probably not be such a great idea, still it looks like it would be easier to use a dynamic system than not. What does everyone else here plan on doing?

I am also wondering if there is a way to include php parsed code on every page as a header or footer? is there a way to do this in the cgi generated pages? (i know it is easy in the static ones). I have php running as an apache module as oppossed to as a cgi if that makes a difference.
