Question Starting Point for a Forum

Well now that Big K has been doing improvements to the site I myself have become curious as to what kind of information would be necessary to store regarding a forum page. I've programmed a forum once before in PHP and it wasn't all that great, you had to log in every time to make your post and things of that nature. So my question is what kind of info should I store?
These are some things I can think of:

Have you considered getting a free forum and looking at the code?

Don't really want to fish through someone else's code. Just curious for parameters of interest. I actually posted the code for my own forum in the PHP section here on Programming Forums, so I don't think coding it would be a problem. Also, I tend to be weak when reading other people's code. So I would much rather just get the parameters in a general form and then worry about the implementation.
