Creating a Forum on my site

[Spiritshel]

Does anyone know how to create a small forum? I would rather create it myself and put it on my site than use one of those free sites out there. Is there a tutorial somewhere that explains how to code for a forum? Thanks

I doubt you'll want to actually create one from scratch, just install one. But in either cases, your web host needs to support server side scripting such as PHP/mySQL. Most free hosts do not offer these features. See this tutorial for more info: Adding a discussion forum to your site.
