I strongly recommend that you download the forums that are supplied at those websites mentioned below. They are free. But if you really want to make your own, you need to know PHP. Here's where to start learning PHP:
http://php.net
OR
http://phpbuilder.com

OR

http://www.chatarea.com/ follow this link and you'll have a forum in miutes and it won't take up web space. Cooooooool, it's free too, no messing around with phpp and mysql, now that can't be bad. Defect now go to petrolheadz.net
You can get a free one by signing up at www.bravenet.com
Its a bit limited but you could use it until you've fould a better one.
And you could use this one, but you need a good server with decent PHP and database support to do it:

I agree. PHP is a good one to use.
If you're a fast learner, you really should try learning HTML, it's pretty easy if you're a fast learner, a lot easier than most other stuff!
You probably already know, but you can get programs like Frontpage, Netobjects Fusion, Dreamweaver ETC that automatically creates the HTML code for you.
I'm not a huge fan of PHP, but I would reccomend that too. But it might take a bit longer to get used to if you don't know HTML..
I don't know!!
