There are various well developed Discussion Forum Software  applications out there, here is a list of ones we found useful.

miniBB

Like being a little car, miniBB is full of details which are impossible to list on one page, and like when driving a car, you should know in advance what each of its function means. Study miniBB Manual for more information on how to set it up, configure and use. You will how such small piece of code could contain almost everything of what every forum needs!
