hmmm...depends upon what you mean...

You can use free software to host your own forum (without adverts) as long as your ISP supports the technology you are using (JSP, ASP or PHP). Check my website for an example of this.

If you mean actually WRITING your own forum software then you will first have to learn one of the above technologies (JSP, ASP or PHP). PHP is pretty easy, but since this is a Java forum I should also add that JSP is also!
