This web site (along with many complex web sites) uses a "back end" relational database.
All the questions and answers are held in a relational database (Microsoft SQL Server judging by the error messages we get).
Writing a web site with a back end relational database is NOT for the faint hearted.
While you could probably do it all with Dreamweaver, if you have never created a web site before then you are probably in for a massive learning curve lasting many months.
Note that while it is possible to create a website using Dreamweaver you will almost certainly need a good understanding of the HTML and CSS languges that every web site is made up off.
This site also probably uses JavaScript, and as I said, a relational database interface.
If you start now it may be ready by NEXT Christmas.
Sorry to be so strong about it, but you cannot throw a website like this together in a couple of weeks.

You asked this before.
It's just some simple server software, nothing special.
But in order to create it, you need to learn how to. Web development is a skill. You may as well be asking if you can plumb your central heating if you have a hammer and some pliers.
If you search for "How to make a website" on Google, you'll find millions of hits.
O'Reilly do some good books on HTML, CSS, JavaScript. Some of the forum software linked to in the previous post was written using PhP, so you'll want to have a decent idea of that too. Rasmus Lerdorf has a good book on this, "Programming PhP".

You sound as if you are a necomer to web design - I would seriously advise you to tackle something a little less complicated than a full blown application such as a forum.
When you get your copy of CS4 I would go on to the Adobe website and download some of their developer tutorials, and that way you can build your knowledge gradually as you gain experience.
