    Well, you can use scripts like PHPbb or SMF.
    They are free and you can use them to make a forum free of cost. :)

    a bit hard to find fee hosting without having advertisment and redirections in your forum. Better choose a good and cheap webhosting, more safe and secure.

    You would have to go to certian free hosting sites, but if you are going to run a popular forum, I don't think a free webhost would have enough bandwidth for you. Because I'm running a 315 member forum right now, and I already used 3-4gb of bandwidth :p

    phpbb is great, free and has tons of mods. Another good one is drupal, but it takes a bit of learning to get a handle on it- but well worth it in the end!
