Creating Forums

Does anyone know any programs or code to create a forum like this one? I don't want a forum running off of some other server, since I want to run the forum off of my server. Even a site with instructions would be nice. I just need a forum that IIS5 can run that also lets users post pictures. Thanks.
 
You can buy software like Fuse Talk (what this site uses) and UBB to create your own forums. You can check at the bottom of this page for the link to fuse talk.
 
For the record, Fusetalk is created with ColdFusion. I *believe* it has a SQL backend. PHP is another language that can be used and can interface with a SQL database (as well as many others), for similar purposes. More information at http://www.zend.com and http://www.php.net. It's NOT necessarily an easy task to master, but there's lots of books and other resources out there if you want to tackle it from scratch. Otherwise, try out fusetalk, UBB, or dig through http://www.freshmeat.net
