Community site framework suggestions

Hi, in the holidays break (and probably for longer) I'm going to program a community website for my sports team.

I'm not very keen on the frameworks available and I'm mostly looking for something that's both simple, fast and flexible.

I have a few requirements:

Easy user interface.
Creation of events so users can sign up for them.
Point/reputation system so users score points for showing up on events.
Suggestion system, users come up with ideas for events that get up/down votes.
News that users can comment on.
Forum (not necessary).

I think that sums up the biggest part of what I want to do. I know this might take longer than just the Christmas break and I'm ready to learn to get things done.

Thanks for your suggestions in advance.

+3 A:

Drupal comes to mind. There are modules for every requirement you listed.

Thank you, I will check it out. I was wondering if it's flexible enough though.For example, if there isn't a module for something I want to do, is it a lot of hassle?

There are currently more than 5000 modules for drupal. If there should really not be a module for a feature you need, you can easily build your own if you know php. There is plenty of documentation for that. There is also a very busy forum where you can ask for help.

There are in fact so many modules, it is sometimes not so easy to find the right one ;-)

5148 modules to be precise... ;-)

Thank you, I'll get into it!
