There are many forums out there:

http://www.forummatrix.org/

There are a couple forums written in ASP, but most are written for a 
WAMP/WIMP environment (Windows-IIS-MySQL-PHP).  A few support SQL Server 
and a couple of them use plain ol' text files (i.e. no database).  Some 
of the commercial solutions offer to help set up the board and upgrade 
it on behalf of the user (for a hefty annual fee).

(YahooGroups?  Not exactly a web forum, but might be worth checking out.)
