Well if your host supports that Kevin you will be able to put a forum in there.

www.simplemachines.org

www.phpbb.com

Both are great forum system you just have to read the instructions carefully to install its always hard the first time doing something that relates to MySQL but im sure others will back me up in saying this its so easy the second time round.

You can also get portals too called CMS, which basically helps you create your site its really easy too another thing to look into, Simple machines do a free portal and then you can get others like:

www.phpnuke.com

www.e107.org

Theres loads trust me once you start getting into databases, php scripts you enter a whole new dimension.
