How?

I have heard you can get your own IPB 2.1 forum but theres limitations, where can you get it?

Here. And there aren't limitations.

Clearly you're new to this... No worries, I once was. First you need a host, a company which will host your site. GeoCities and the like don't cut it. Second, you buy a license to IPB. They'll set it up for you, but only enough to get you started. As the admin, you then go in and create categories and forums. Then all you have to do is find people to join your site. From there, the sky's the limit... not only can you tweak IPB to your heart's desire, there are tons of aftermarket modifications you can get (google Invisionize). Limitations? Pah! Get something called

Groupee (formerly Infopop)

if you want limitations. :P

Wrong forum BTW. ;)
