Features question

Hi.

Never installed or run/managed a forum. So any dummies guides/help/advice much appreciated.

Building a site (good with html & css - no exp. with php) and a forum integrated into the site would be ideal if it also allowed an icecast streaming radio station embedded flash player and a shoutbox.

The shout/chat box needs to be able to do various things though:

1 - be live updating, not a widget (purpose of the chatbox is for live chat)
2 - show who is signed in to the box
3 - send a pm to another member/s
4 - allow "private" chats to be made within the regular chats (seen this in a TS Special Edition forum app), not open a new chat window
5 - filter words
6 - smileys
7 - make backups of all chats to resolve any disputes later
8 - to ban a user from chat
9 - available to members only
10 - spam filters
11 - ability to show it on std. webpages, not just in the forum. This feature does not necessarily need to work - as in people can jump into the chat from any page - but to encourage them to join the forum and enter the chat. Hence, chat restricted to forum members!
12 - bbcode
13 - edit/remove offensive/spam chat

I'll leave it there for now.

Forums layouts in general (flat ones) are basically the same and as long as I can add logo's, css changes for colours etc, I'm not too fussy about the look (but I like the look of webwiz - clean), if the above 2 features (icecast & shoutbox) are available as either std or a plugin.

Thx in advance for ur help and advice.

The built in Chat Room is a lightweight Chat Client that allows forum members to chat in real time from the chat popup window in the browser.
