How to make a forum like this?
What software was used to make this forum?
How hard is it to learn to use for someone that doesn't code?
Where would I go to get it and what does it cost?

I think YABB is free. It's all included. At the very bottom of the page is the link to the webstie ( http://yabb.xnull.com ). You don't need to code, all the source is free. Although I reccomend PHPBB (FREE Also) ( http://www.phpbb.com )

I know that the YA in YABB stands for Yet Another but what does the PHP in PHPBB stand for? j/w?

PHP is a scripting language in itself ( http://www.php.net ) it's my main language, I mean, my random image in my sig is actually a link to a php script I made that does a binary load of the random image off the server.

Re: How to make a forum like this?
as far as I know, it has no limit, but if theirs like thousands of images it might take a while to load the way it works (loads the directory into an array, and selects a random number in the array varable $images[<random number>];
the loading into the array might tke a while if theirs lots of images.
The script will require a server that has PHP installed. And you will have to know how to operate it, if you have a server with php installed, I can post the source code here.
