Free hosts usually aren't used as much as self hosting these days. Though there's been a few forums hosted on Forumotion that people have promoted here. As for free software, MyBB is quite outdated and I feel like SMF and phpBB are the top free forum software. Jcink is my personal favorite free host.

what do u mean non self hosted i am trying understand on this. ive used proboards for years but i am a little open minded now.
Proboards is also non self hosted like Jcink. It means you don't have full control of your forum, and if you wanted to move you couldn't move to self hosting on Proboards at least. Jcink does allow you to make a database back up so if you ever want to move to self hosting you can.

Self-Hosted: Hosted on your server with full server-side access.
Non-Self-Hosted: Hosted on the software's servers with no server-side access.
If you're new to forums, I would perhaps start on a free service and you can build up from there. Preferably a service that allows you to download your database or convert to a different software.
At this time, Xenforo is one of the most popular forum software, I think.
