    My suggestion would be to use for start a free forum software, like SMF forum (simplemachines forum), and then you should upgrade to vBulletin . There are plenty of free themes so you just customise them a bit. Good luck!

    I am using PhpBB which is free and very easy to use and customize as well.
    You can try using it before going for a premium solution like vBulletin.

    I use PHPBB and Vbulletin as well. Free option is PHPBB and it will do the trick for sure. If you want tons of mods/addons and more functionality go with an annual license for vbulletin.com

    phpBB is easy enough to setup and use. Used it on a gaming website and worked wonders.

    I would actually start a blog/site first and then as that gathers traffic, start a forum for your visitors. Much more likely to get forum signups that way..

    MyBB is a best free forum script.
    it can be customized as you like (even with little coding knowledge) as it has got good community support.
