Not much is needed to establish a forum besides a webserver and forum software. There are many open-source/free forum software you can use, aswell as some paid ones such as vBulletin. Not much knowledge is needed to use them and a little reading can pretty much tell you all you need to know on how to use them.
Alot of sites offer free forum templates, such as with phpBB they have a section on the site where you can download free templates for use on your forum if you use phpBB.
Some good forum software includes:
vBulletin (paid) - quite expensive but good
IPB (paid) - same as above
phpBB (free) - good with lots of mods/templates (must be kept up to date for security)
SMF (free)
MyBB (free)
Haven't really administered the top 2 or bottom one.
