Hello. I am a technical manager for a professional gaming community and we are launching our Battlefield 3 themed fully working website on zen-chart software. We are looking for the most lightweight forum software which still has main functions. However (since I know nothing of this one, just found this place) I have a few quick questions and possible offers.
Here are some screenshots of Battlefiled 3 fourms.

We would like to mimic almost if not the exact looks and functions that of a bf3 forums. And in short I would like to know if that's possible with punBB.
[*]forums within a website[/*]
[*]possibility for various mysql requests, we want our site registration integrated with yours, so when they sign up on our forums or on our website, it's the same thing.[/*]
[*]do you already have plugins for purchase, payment systems? for example: would need punBB to read weather a user has made a purchase, is so, then give special forum privileges, update (status, or avatar), create a custom profile field and so on[/*]
Would mimicking battlefield 3 forums be even possible or how far am I allowed to customize punBB.
And last but not least, are there any professional programmers or very experienced punBB coders out there to pick up such an task if offered for a reasonable price?
