making a web forum

I want a new web forum thing like this for my non-car related webpage. Does anyone know how to go about it? I know there are a few free ones, but they have heaps of stupid advertising, for internet gambling and stuff.

These forums are free. They're called FUDForums. You need PHP and MySQL though.

OK great. What is PHP and MySQL though? Where do I get this stuff? Can I get a forum thing off the web, and load it all up to my webpage with my own preferences?

do a web search man... forum hosting is a bit more complicated for noobs like us
someone please correct me but PHP and MySQL need to run on a dedicated (preferably linux) server?

Yeah, hosting is a bit tricky. But as long as your ISP has those two (like Qnix here), then it's no problem.
Installation of the FUDForums was soooOOOOOooo easy!
