Question
We are about to start a game website. We need some extensible web software, which could handle as many as possible of the following:
Blog.
Users & user profiles.
Public forum with standard features like nesting, sticky/locked post, moderation tools, etc.
Public events.
User groups with private forum sections and events (for clan management).
System of per-user "points" / inner currency / budget.
Could run on Ruby on Rails or PHP with MySQL hosting.
If you are recommending a software, which can achieve the mentioned functionality using it's modules, please also mention names of the modules you would use.
Explanation / Answer
A good solution for me was using Wordpress, bbPress (forum), BuddyPress (groups).
The per-user points and events parts are still missing, but I believe there will be other Wordpress plugins to do that.
