I know that items such as squishdot and ... umm ... the forum system that AO runs on exist, but I was wondering if anyone had any idea on how to best create a sort of online "community" rather than just a webpage?

I'm horrible at anything graphical, but I've sat on my domain name for almost two years without doing a thing with it (up until a couple days ago, when I put up a site and almost immediately was being scripted against ... unsuccessfully. )

Any ideas would be great. What I'd really like to do is set up a community specializing in network security and Cisco products. Just a thought; nothing's really concrete right now.
