You can always install things via Scripta or Scripts Library. There are message boards and guestbooks in there you can install with the click of the button and some simple forms filled out.

Jen -

Several of those items are, as RAI indicated, in scripta.

But if you're expanding your site to include so much stuff, you might want to look at a CMS like Xoops or Mambo...

Yeah, it sounds like a CMS would be more the way to go. And of course, I'd recommend Xoops above the rest....but that's just me.
