I have been working on widening my site to 900 from the 770 it is and its a royal pain, there are so many css files, thank god for firefox, thats all I can say Otherwise, my users love the webcam chat room, thedownloadable gadget that lets you chat with members without having a browser open, the mail system needs work, blog, basic as you say, forum is really useless, but from what I have read integration of phpbb is difficult at best, and its also unfortunate that to remove the advertising on the ray itesm is$39 for each item, which makes it expensive for what I thought was open source.

Such good examples are "symfony", "ruby on rails", "phpCake", "struts two", and many others. Many of these frameworks do have plugins/addons that solve much of your coding trouble. For instance, symfony has a forum plugin, and a blog plugin!, so as a developer who wants to make a social networking site with blogging, I would use symfony with its blog module. CHeck it out symfony-project.com Thanks for the good read.

Don't want to show our hand too early. We do have ideas similar to ones discussed in the article above.
