i think that you're best bet would be to find some open source
community software and go with that. i built a community site from
scratch one time, and while it was a lot of fun, it proved to be much
more difficult that i had anticipated. so the next client that asked
for a similar site ended up with a modified version of the other site
with phpbb2 for a message board, another package for a photo gallery
(can't recall the name right now), etc.

so, in short, find some already written code, modify it a bit to suit
your needs, and go with that. it'll save you a lot of time.
