A: 

The only way to clean up that mammoth SQL statement is to go back to the drawing board and carefully work though your database design and requirements. As soon as you start joining 6 tables and using an inner select you should expect incredible execution times.

As a start, ensure that all your id fields are indexed, but better to ensure that your design is valid. I don't know where to START looking at your SQL - even after I reformatted it for you.

Note that 'using indexes' means you need to issue the correct instructions when you CREATE or ALTER the tables you are using. See for instance MySql 5.0 create indexes

joining 6 ables is NOT a big join. Joining 6 tables with the right indexes should not be an issue...

thanks Mitch, I didn't think a 6 table join was out of the question, as I am getting the same query with a different 'WHERE' statement and getting .006 second response times.
