Actually, you're mistaken. I was just pointing out that your comment does not fit with reality. In order to be posting on forums, much less 'administering' a web page (yeah, I know, it's free hosting and not the same as a real site), you have internet access. Ditto that for a computer. The third 'resource' in learning to program is the intelligence to do so. Ergo, if you are claiming you lack the necessary resources, you are saying you lack a brain (it being evident you have access to a computer and the internet). I think it's far more likely that you lack the wherewithal to learn to code, which is entirely different from lacking the resources to learn. Just because I used the word 'bullshit' instead of some more family-friendly term doesn't mean I have a problem with you.

Teen? You might want to correct your profile then; it says you were born in January 1983, which would make you 23.

Okay, fine. Lots of people write programs without being paid up front, because they want to learn, or simply because they enjoy it. Others might be willing to do it for a stake in potential revenues, with the understanding those might not be forthcoming (depending on how the product does). Still, it's not very enticing when you give the impression that you will sit back while others do the work that you can't be bothered to do. Making an effort to contribute to the process would go a long way.

As DaWei points out, that's reinventing the wheel. It's also a more involved task than you might imagine, especially with the fact that any people who offer to help will likely be beginners, and thus it will probably be beyond their collective skill set.

You might want to start with something simple, and then move to more complex stuff. In addition, on the hosting side, web hosting is getting pretty cheap these days, so you could investigate that. Many of these also provide forums, and (presumably) would assist you in getting them up and running, so no need to roll your own.
