This would probably be better off on Webmaster, but in short:

BB Software (vBulletin [pay for], PHPBB2 [free], InvisionBB [free] , ... theres loads of them)

A Webserver (Apache in Boards case) with PHP and MySQL.

All this runs off a FreeBSD server in Boards.ie's case.

I'd go with one of the 'free' Bulletin Boards on MySQL and PHP on a Linux server.
