If you don't want the hassle of installing and setting up, I recommend sigining up for a free board at either :

http://www.invisionfree.com/
or
http://www.forumhoster.com/


If you want more control, or your board actually takes off, you can download the software for free either from the phpBB group or the invision power board [ I use it in the site on my sig ], which is a bit more powerful.

Most of the things are plug and play. And they come with pretty good admin boards.

You also need a domain with a database connection. I use http://www.1t3.com/. The setup is pretty brain dead, and it takes about four days to have the domain set up and running. It costs $30 a year. If you have any more questions, just pm me and I can give you more details.
