I'm not too sure if there r ne tutorials on this stuff, but it'll be great if someone can tell me how to make a basic forum. 

I've been looking at it for some time and look at some of the coding, but some of it is mind-bogglin, lol.

Ne help will be appreciated

well the way most basic forums work, is that you type stuff in a textbox and CGI attached that text to the end of existing HTML page... you could then make it more fancy and create a new page for each post and just attach links to pages of replies...

basically you can have a really crappy (but working) forum made out of CGI and a text file.
