    Yes I guess some knowledge of HTML needed to make any kind of websites. It is not for the very beginning but when you have some need to modify or customize them.

    you are right but for creating a forum we have to know some about the server side scripting languages like PHP.

    phpBB software is good for Forum website. phpBB software easy to use. Only little HTML and CSS knowledge is required for some changes of forum website.

    If you want to changes more than required basic knowledge of PHP. I suggest 1 site for HTML, CSS and PHP tutorial. Visit W3schools.com

    You don't need much HTML knowledge to create a forum, but it will certainly help knowing HTML to customize the looks :)

    You don't need any HTML knowledge to set it up, you would need to learn it if you would like to customize your forum. You can also just hire people to customize it or buy a template, if you do not want to learn HTML.

    No you don't need HTML . There are a lot of forum builder softwares that can do it easy.
    But if you want to manage some styles or codes you must know Html and Css .

    phpBB and myBB are great forum softwares that need little to no knowledge of HTML to run. It is always best that you read up or learn HTML as it is a simple language and can really help you do what you want to customize your forum. Other than that, there are many themes and customizations already coded and published all over the internet that can help you out with customizing your forum to be what you want it to be.
