I started programming a few months ago, and I realised that creating a facebook on a particular topic (theme) is hard work for a beginner, I want to do it, but more in the long term. Do you know if there is any specialised CMS that could help me to create a social network and community? members could send chat messages to each other, have a wall, a forum?
Thanks and best regards

Well actually yes there are lots, but since you did use the #wordpress, have you tried buddypress and bbpress plugins?
BuddyPress
github.com/buddypress/buddypress
bbpress
bbpress.org/
And another very popular Open Source social network is Mastodon:
github.com/mastodon/mastodon
If you want more examples you should google for Open Source Self hosted Social Network
Thank you, I will investigate. BBPress is just a forum, isn't it?
What do you think about social engines? would it be realistic for me to consider it? I say this because I've been programming for a very short time.
