  What pack do I need to purchase to be able to install plugins? Also, will the plugins apply to a site if I am not the creator but an administrator of it?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hello, plugin installation is not allowed in WordPress.com. Enterprise customers do get to use some selections of plugins. Read more details here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/plugins/

  You might also review the TOS before you get too far along:

  Well the plugin that I wanted to install was a forum plugin. Since I can’t do that, how would I be able to have a forum on my website?

  You can’t. You can set a forum up somewhere else and link to it.

  Seriously, you are setting up an ecommerce gaming site. You do not want to be at WordPress.com; the code restrictions are too stringent. Buy paid hosting and use software from WordPress.ORG, which lets you use plugins.
