Default What does it take to start a forum?
I'm thinking about starting a forum and I'm curious of what all I need to do.

I know I need a domain name and the forum software but is that it?

Web server that support php (apache with php_mod)
database (mysql)
forum (phorum or other one you like to have)

The rest you can find it alone.
