(I'm learning HTML and CSS and some other stuff right now.)
The guts of the forum is prepackaged - MyBB forum software. I'm not sure how much custom modding Tib and/or others have done to it. I'm guessing things like kudos and reputation are existing secondary modules that have been tweaked. Mod tools are generally stock with forums like this (mostly because they're a PITA to modify in a lot of cases, and tend to do the job just fine anyway*), although I can't help but wonder if the special colored staff text blocks we see from time to time in posts when things are going off the rails are at least partly custom.
*At PHPFreaks we made the mistake of changing from either MyBB or PHPBB to IP Board for our forum software. Worst back end administration tools ever. Something as simple as banning spammers took 4-5 steps.
