Where do I need to go? what do I have to do? do they have running costs? etc.

I am completely at loss but want to set one up so badly.

Are you inquiring about what you have to do to become a member of these forums, or are you inquiring about starting up your own forums on your website?

If you're thinking about setting up your own forum, there's a good thread on the subject here.

The latter artist, thanks Lemur.

Well, the best way is to put a link to the forum in your signature, which reminds me, Sun better hurry up with the hosting system.

I prefer InvisionFree, but I guess that's just force of habit.

There are advertising forums-- as in, forums whose main purpose is to advertise other forums. It might sound odd, but they do exist.

These are the two that I've used before, but there are quite a bit more if you're willing to do some digging. Personally, I found the sites a little too mercenary for my taste-- with posting packages, deals, etcetera, but it does give your fledgling forum a lot of exposure to potential members/people of similar interest.
