That would be because the Guests group does not have permissions to view the forums.

Hi ,
I've set all the Guest Group permissions to Read only Access in the ACP (Permissions> Groups' forum Permissions>look up user Groups>Guests>All Forums ) and still shows "This board has no forums." when viewed as a guest .
Any Ideas ?

Everyone who is not logged in uses the permissions of the anonymous user account.

If that account is not in the guest group, they have no permissions to do what the guest group can do.
It's a very important account and should be only in the guest group.
