Hello Kevin
You could still use X5 for creating your website. You could then integrate 3.part software into X5
X5 is good for designing websites. But 3.part is needed for things as forums, CRM and professional webshop.
Axel
has made a forum for X5 users. For this purpose he has used the phpBB software.

Axel is a user of X5 and is also a member of this forum.
I guess that if you run into trouble with the system, then he will and can help you. But be aware that it might not be a topic for this forum then.
Also other use the phpBB.
A product I use myself, is the AppGini. Their forum is also based on the phpBB.

On both forums, login is required and the self-registration is disabled. This is because of all the people that sells narcoitic, Steroids and Viagra, uses forums as platforms for announcements. These people is a pest for all public forums.
