    you'd need to have decent webhosting that offers a database (typically MySQL) and something like PHP/ASP. Boards runs on a PHP/MySQL platform.
    There's plenty of boards out there to pick from, phpBB is a decent free one.

    it s ver easy to setup.

    Firstly you download the files from the php website.. Upload them to your webspace .Run a wizard whihc will do most of the setting up for you.

    You do need a database.

    I can help you setup the forum if you want.

    Whats the website on etc.

    Pm me if you want.
