 * I would like to have a website that provides forums, classifieds, auctions, online
   stores, e-mail, and potentially other services to its members WITHOUT all of 
   the garbage that you see on Google, Yahoo, etc.
 * Does WordPress provide all of these features, or should we say, themes and plugins?
   If not, I’m going to assume these features can be included in the menu of any
   website. If that’s the case, I want programs (themes, apps, whatever) that work
   well together and have ONE login so that when a user logs in to the website, 
   they automatically have use of ALL programs on that website. This way, it’s seamless
   to the user.
 * Thank you in advance,
 * Matt.

 * Forums, classifieds, auctions, and e-commerce: Yes, many plugins for that.
 * Email, as in a mailserver where everyone gets there own email address: No, you’ll
   need an actual mailserver for that.
 * Email, as in email subscriptions: Yes, many plugins for that too.
 * You should be able to find everything you’re looking for at [http://wordpress.org/plugins/](http://wordpress.org/plugins/)

 * Just another note as well…
 * For all of that functionality you won’t be looking at one site, unless you have
   the worlds best server. Services like Yahoo!, Google, eBay, etc all have huge
   server farms with 1,000’s of servers all working together. Something of the size
   that you’re talking about is not a trivial exercise, and will never be based 
   on one single WordPress site unless you’re going to cap things to 10-20 members
   total (and I don’t believe anyone would want that).
 * This is the time when you need to do some very erious research into exactly what
   you want, exactly what you think it will end up being, and exactly what it will
   take to host and manage that sort of multi-faceted system.
