A bit of fun hoping to make money I would presume.

It's both. And sometimes one or the other. Obviously they start a forum because they are interested in a certain topic, and though forums have a low CTR, selling banner spots to private advertisers brings in good money.

Can one forum make you a living, or do you need to have several? Also, are they exensive to run and maintain?

I am a bit curious about this too. I post on a lot of forums, just because I like to sharpen my writing skills and learn a few things in the process. But I would be very interested in hosting a forum or two.
