Soieasy.com is only 'sorta' mine.. I was asked to make a site by Ott and Ning (dragon Kangaroo etc) and I did.. Really its thier site but no one would do anything and I like to play with new CMS's.. PHPNuke is actually really pretty simple (I am pretty pleased with the soieasy layout and interation.. Gallery .. Forum.. News modulkes.. etc)..

If you have any spare time I strongly reccomend you setting up your own phpBB forum once as a teaching process.. You can get free php / MySQL hosting if you hunt.. Then upload, unpack and install, set the MySQL up.. Learn how to use phpMyAdmin.. Link the database with the forum and config the forum through scripts (and secure it).. Now I have done a couple if I had fast access I reckon I could do a forum in a couple of hours (without graphics integration).. I had hosts provide built in scripts before and I learnt nothing about those scripts by using that.. doing it from scratch shows you how..

You could also install locally on your own machine using easyPHP (great app) that installs PHP / Apache / etc all on your own machine.. I have one machine in the house set up with EasyPHP... a telnet server... a ftp server etc so by addressing that local IP its like testing uploading to a online host (though my hosts are linux and the box I use in a windows so its not exact).. Be nice to set a SSL server on it to to mirror my pro hosting packages closer... I have learnt more using that demo box and toying than any other way..
