Forum design help?

[jutah]

I want to be able to create a forum based site similar looking to the one here. Iam doing it for a semester long school project and was wondering if anybody knew of any sites that could help me out? I know HTML and PHP pretty well. Iam thinking of using MYSQL for the back end. Any thoughts?

Thanks

Well grab vBulletin and get started... mySQL is a great choice because of it's speed and reliability... best of all, it's price. What's stopping you?

Vbulletin looks great but, I want to actually code it myself. Any thoughts?

Thanks
