you need server-side processing and some sort of database. Assuming budget is an issue, you could try looking here

No, it's not impossible. One that comes to mind is WWWBoard, but I am sure there are many more.
Do not expect them to be the fanciest of forums, however.

MyBB is nice. This forum runs a very old version of it. 
(It's free too 
)
EDIT: I've also heard that PunBB is nice. However, I haven't used it much, but from what I've heard/seen it's very fast. Don't know a lot more though. (It's free though.)

Anyway, u could use one that doesnt require any setup, the ones that are already installed, like this one: http://createmybb.com/

Honestly, the easiest one to set up is EZBoard. The downers though, is popups out the ass (even on FF) and on page ads.

it has it's own built-in database system (if you don't already have a SQL or HSQLDB database)
theonly downside is that it runs on JSP, wich might be harder to find a server for

AZbb: AZ Bulletin Board looks very simple.
See others.
However, online forum makers are even easier, as you don't have to download anything.
