You mentioned earlier "glorified blog, with user login."
If that is the case maybe look at something like ExpressionEngine to get it started. Or even just to prototype and evaluate before dumping huge amounts of cash. Like vaxorcist said earlier, many times you start aiming for A then have to pivot to capture B.

It has built in member management without plugins, it also has a 1st party forum/comments module. It started as a blog but has grown to something more substantial. So it has room to grow, but also has blog-like functionality retained as well.
Then if it grows, scale it to a new or custom platform when required.
But if you find a good ExpressionEngine dev, you can be online in pretty quick time.Features:
