^^U don't need to need any of those except time for for maintaining..to make a forum.
You don't have to code even a single line. Just buy the vbulletin forum script( the one which this forum is using) and install on ur web server and its done. You can even get free forum scripts like phpbb,smf,mybb etc.
Building a forum can take maximum of 1hr if u r inexperienced...BUT building it and making it big like this forum takes LOTS AND LOTS of time and effort!
eyah thats what i said you can use the existing coding or if you want to your own unique one then you need to know the stuff

Ok Guys
I am good at coding. I mean C# PHP mYSQL etc.
I have a purchased VB License. I also have experience in PHPBB and SMF and I have 3 domains one with each VB, PHPBB and SMF.
I also have a thorough knowledge of
Wordpress, gallery, and almost all opensource softwares.
What I want is to build Community Forums and not interested in coding and all.
Right now I have chosen entertainment as the topic. But I am not sure how that will work out.
I want to make this forum grow well and rather then growing I want it to be USEFUL.
so you just want to make an entertainment forum and want it to be useful
there are loads of them out there
if you just wanna make and build a community just for it to be usefull then its ok but if you want it to monetize then
make a forum about something you are interested in or something unique
