The main areas could only be edited by the runners of the website.
Then there could be a help section (or maybe it should be called wiki section) to which "guests" are free to type their stuff.
Wiki of this type ought to have a website look/feel, rather than that of a wiki.
Hope you understood what I was trying to explain :). The decentralized website you're creating wouldn't be really practical, it'd be great to find a wiki with forums, but I suppose separate forums and website could be manageable with such a small community.

Great idea, but I have no idea how PHP etc. works. :(
I mean, I understand in theory, but I've never tried programming with it.

Its a pain , the only thing simular is that you can use vbscript for the actual php...
Tryed to do a hitcounter in it once , gave up: was saving the
hit count file on user side instead of server side , but took me a day to figure out.
I forgot everything now, besides I was a better programer then.....
Try interdev and the internet for help , (I dont even have frontpage on my mashine right now , forget about interdev)
(what I mean by InterDev is the MSDN help for the InterDev studio)

Well, that's hardly an issue. There are dozens and dozens of free PHP scripts out there. The search for the perfect script might be a long one, though :).
Few wikis have forums implemented, but almost any wiki's layout can be edited to look like a "normal" website. Skinning wikis is usually much like skinning forums: you don't need to know the first thing about PHP.
The main reason to combine all of the current websites (forums, database, the actual website) is to ease the managing of the whole thing. Now, all of the sites have to be separately filled in with the latest news, and users have to register to each site. The current system, without a main website, is quite confusing (I suppose it's only a temporary solution). Took me a couple of days to figure out what the latest version was and if it was in heavy beta state (ie. not recommended for "normal" use) :).

I'd be against relocating some of the resources. Moving forums is a pain.
A better way would be to create some kind of script system that lets you register in all the different places at once.

What about just using frames to display the seperate pages. I was thinking of the normal title bar, links on left and in the right corner would be the page currently viewed. This way a user could just click a link to change the current page. A general sign-up/log-in page could also be done, possibly with a form filling out all the other pages' sign-up/log-in forms simultaneously.
