i'd recommend using one that already exists, like phpbb, or vbulletin... unless the objective is to learn how to code one.

then you would probably be best off learning php/mysql/html. without knowing your skill set, my recommendation can't be too specific.

For a nice clean simple one, I would start out with PunBB

just checked out their site. that forum is pretty damn speedy.

Sorry Mike to be fair, on the down side, I would have liked CN to be based on PunBB, on the up side tho, I love the effort you've put into our "my article" bit.
