you could probably find some free service, alltho if you wanted to make one yourself, you would need to learn html, php probably other scripting langauges too, also you could store peoples details in an sql database, so you would need to learn that too

lol...you don't need to know php or mysql in order to make a forum site

There is forum software available that's complately free, and works straight out of the box so to speak. phpBB is one very common one. If you want something super basic, you can use Phorum (no features, just basic funtionality...better for developers though who like to customize a lot.) You can aso use a CMS and add a forum add-on from their collection, like Xoops + CBB for example

All you need to know with those is how to use an FTP client (really easy if you don't already know) and you'll need to have your own website, and you'll need to know your database info so you can tell the software what to connect to, it's pretty simple. The forum software can be free, the FTP client can be free, and your webhost can be pretty cheap (like $5-10 a month) so overall, pretty much anyone can do it.
