how to create forum sites

[Jake]

Most forums use an free open source template script, for which many paid hosts will have a simple installer.

There are a few free forum hosting sites a web search should reveal, forums require a more serious effort than a blog, most often they would be on a paid host.

One of the biggest challenges is getting the site off the ground, no one wants to be the first and only member of a forum, some commercial developers will pay people to participate to get the site going.
