I can answer some of your questions. Go here and you have the list of almost all the Joomla extensions (free and paid) that exist http://extensions.joomla.org/ about your questions. 1. Comment news: If you mean adding news, then its already there in the standard install. Go to content, then click on All content items and you'll have all the content that exists and you can add more. It helps to fill the site with sample data during Joomla installation. 2. Google Ads: Go to modules, then select Banners (make sure you installed sample data) and then edit the properties of banners. You'll see a code box, paste in the adsense code and you are good to go. You can also change the location of your adsense ads. 3. phpbb: Unfortunately phpbb does not have a good joomla bridge (although there is one). The best forum for Joomla is SMF. 5 stats & seo: there are plugins, check out the extensions site. although I haven't used them.
