If you want to code your own forums, start off by learning PHP from the tutorials on this site (or others. search for "php tutorials" on google) and/or use a book.

But if you want to setup a forum fast, then download one! My personal favorite is PhpBB (www.phpbb.com). Another one is phorum (kinda like the old phpbuilder.com forums).

goto http://www.hotscripts.com or http://php.resourceindex.com/ and you'll find many forums.

You may also want to learn mysql or another database to keep track of all the posts, threads, and other data in your forum.

Another board favorite for me is http://www.invisionboard.com 🙂

I found phpBB was the easiest to use I help one of my firends set it up on his site, however I made one for my site, I like making them more than using someone else because later when you need to customize it, it is easier because you know where everything is.

And also, like with anything, you get a great sense of pride when you see people using something you have sweated blood over.
