Learn HTML, basic PHP, basic Photoshop, then about exploits/hacking, then learn about advertising and running a website before even thinking about buying/creating anything for your forum. Forum's take countless hours of work to run and can take months to begin to become popular.
I doubt you will get very far untill you have learnt the things listed above ^^

I wouldn't say they take countless hours. I managed to set mine up after a good 10 hours work. That is countable.
And why do you need to know HTML, PHP, Basic Photoshop & about exploits and hacking ?

You had a fully running forum in 10 hours with unique hits, good SEO etc? That's near impossible, seeing as Google can take a months to pick up your site.
HTML - Basic web design
PHP - Thats the language most forum scripts are coded in.
Photoshop - You need a bannar, you need to be able to edit your themes bannar etc.
Exploits/Hacking - Do you really want your website to get owned?
- You got the cash people will do it for you. I found my self in this situation, I bought a VB and didnt know anything about it, well i could work my way through it slowly, but the best thing I could of done is find myself an excellent Forum manager. This is what i reccomend you to do, if you do get hold of one.

As tim said you can pay someone to do it. ;)
Or bribe them off. :D

I think you'd need to know about exploits and hacking to make sure that the thing youve produced is secure, PHP to build algon with HTML, photoshop for design.
Also i agree with paying someone :P it's alot easier
If you don't know HTML and you wanna set-up a forum then its a bit worrying.
proboards.com
No skill required! :P
also, why on earth would you need to know HTML or PHP to make a vB or MyBB forum? You only need to learn how to use the Admin CP - Easy to Edit Config's? No skill needed there?

Just use a free website for example: proboards.com (said above)

why start a forum when you have no knowledge of anything?
