Message Board

A message board, also known as an Internet forum, discussion board, or web forum, is an online space for holding conversations on specified topics. Message board users create posts discussing new topics or responding to previous posts. Posts can re-emphasize a point of view or serve as a means to argue a counter point of view; personal conversations are usually discouraged and are better suited for chat rooms. Message board software is available to create forums with features such as posting anonymity and administrator modification of posts.
