HOW do I create a website like this one??
Me and my friend want to setup a website as a project and we're looking at
bensbargains.net
It has a clean interface with features like discussion board and previous archives. We're both computer science students but have never worked on creating a website before. Can anyone tell us where to start in order to create a site JUST like bensbargains.net? We know some basic HTML, but a site like this seems to require a lot more than HTML.
We just need a starting point, What kind of technology/software they use, or links to helpful websites would be great.
Thanks.

Something like PHP Nuke might work. http://phpnuke.org/
However, to keep hackers from being able to get in, you have to check out their site constantly for upgrades. I've used it on a couple of sites in the bast, and have found it very useful. A site I currently use it on is coolcollecting.com

If you're doing it as a project I'm assuming you'd have to write everything yourself instead of using a CMS tool. You'll need to use a scripting language and a database. I suggest PHP and MySQL. Here are some links to get you started:
