I looked through the existing questions of this kind but didn't find what I was looking for so here goes.

I need an open source framework where people can...

Create user accounts Invite friends Have a friends list Write messages to each other (some kind of inbox system) Create posts on a standard message forum

On top of this I will create some kind of game where users interact, so it must be posibble to extend the framework with new database tables and functionality.

The platform is Windows, but other than that I'm willing to try pretty much anything.

Thanks for suggestions!
