since a lot of people seem to be making forums now and getting flamed because of them i've decided to post a few points to help u create a better forum...

1: dont bother using one of the free internet based forums...go to phpbb.com download phpbb (dosent take up much room) find a free host and make your forum on that site.(if u want to see an example of some of the stuff u can do on phpbb click on the link in my sig)
2:dont use exactly the same style as everybody else does cos since most people are using the same boring style.
3: make sure that your forum is actually about something that ppl will like instead of just copying other forums.
and
4:try to get people who will actually stick around join the forum cos there isnt any point in having a forum if nobody goes there
