Lol, you can't just come to some forum and ask to run it
Only people I know and trust, and are proven to be capable can do it.
So you can forget about helping run this board. But you can open your own board for free. Like this for example:
http://www.smfforfree.com/
there is more sites like that. Just search the google. It can't have as much features as paid option but it is a start.
