Using modules for.....

[prashant]

I have been tryin' to make user profile with photo, shout box, create
discussion forum, blog, user comments. So, which modules should I use
to create these? Any help?

For profile you can use the drupal Profile module.. using which you
can also add new fields and categoririse them.
For discussion forum ,blog and user comments i think the modules comes
with the drupal itself .. but actually i also haven't tried besides
that.
