The technology behind the site is Joomla for the Content Management System.  The template is JA Purity courtesy of Joomlarts.  Even though I knew nothing about Joomla, I figured I may as well start learning it now and best of all it was free and open source. For the forum, I was pondering between vBulletin or Invision but settled on a PHPBB board mainly because (are you seeing a trend here) it was free but also because it had many of the same features as the forums that require licensed software.
