In this post I'll making you all familiar of how you can build a forum from scratch. There are number of third party vendors to provide the built-in tools. One of the open source I normally go for (recommended by an experienced colleague) is phpBB. I will be discussing the latest version as to date which is BB3 (3.0.6) also code named Olympus.
A forum is basically a chat web-page where users needs to log-in and can discuss their questions and answers, create polls, upload images and avatars and so on. You can also call it as a bulletin board system with extensive administration panel. It's under GPL license which is free and uses PHP as programming language. In the next post I will guide you how can we create, design and modify a bulletin forum system through phpBB. :-)
