Son of a N00b,

Do you have a domain and web hosting account? Yes this costs money, around $30/yr. If you do, you can install your own free forums without any ads.

If you're a total cheap ass and want everything for free, it can be done but it's not pretty. You'll probably get a subdomain for the site and long ugly URL for the forums. Don't forget about the ads and pop-ups 🙂

If you can afford $30/yr for a domain and web hosting, I would go this route.
 
My vote goes for Simple Machines Forum (SMF). I use it for two clan forums. I have never *EVER* seen a forum application that is easier to install, easier to update, or easier to mod. Wan the latest update? Go to your forum, log in as admin, go to the update section, click the "download" button and the page refreshes with an "install" button. Bam. You're done.

Same goes for mods. Mod list retrieval, searching/browsing, download, and installation is all built in and automated. It's the best forum I've ever seen.
