ok here is what I did.
My first doubt was which CMS/script/tool he has used to do it build the website..
I went through the script files of the site.. those were professionally build.. no way a kid can do that, I could not identify the framework he was using as there was not much information available in the source pages , I checked the whois details, but it was masked.
I checked couple of Free social media tools available but none of them matched.
as I couldn't identify the exact tool used to create his website, I couldn't accuse him of using a tool/framework.
and thanks to the link posted above .. I now know its phpfox
I would say that the boy went too far about publicity. I still do appreciate he managed to customize and host the application, cause I have seen many developers finding it difficult to host their own projects in a web host. so kudos to him.
