Cost of running a forum

For the Brain Trust Here-
To start , this idea came to my brain today -
A forum on and for my hobby. ( nothing to do with Porsche)
A place to congregate like this one here.
So, how much and where does one start for a such a thing ?
thanx!

What's a forum?





It would be quite good if you could do a little advertising on the forum to offset the costs of running it. Not so much that it put users off though. Also what competition are you up against to make yours the forum to goto.

You will need a legal copy of the BBS software.

Crosswind difficulties - winter 2013/14 - YouTube

It looks like the cloud version mig be a great first step. Let them host the site.
