You need to pay for a domain name. Than you have to have some one who knows how to design a web page that looks like a forum. Developers and so on. You need a team really. Good luck though.

find a hosting company that can autoinstall some board software. they have a fantastico control panel....

I use SMF: http://www.simplemachines.org/ which has some cool templates.

I have the know how. Pay me lots of money, and I will build you a forum.

I use SMF too for our company's support bulletin board. Surprisingly simple to manage, and you can't beat "free". Works pretty much like this forum.

Building a forum is a snap. Getting people to actually come to it is the tough part. Look at how low the traffic on this board is outside the Blazers section.

The internet is a big place, and odds are there's somebody who has already built something much better than your idea already.

There must be a bug in the software, the bots aren't supposed to be posting about how to run a forum. Isn't the focus set to {basketball, global warming}? We may need to strip out their bayesian posting histories and restart them.

You meant to say basketball, global warming and free tacos right?

That isn't true. The majority of the activity is in the Blazer's forum.
