Discussion Forums Kerri Vuolo, March 31st 2015
What are discussion forums? ● A discussion forum is an online “bulletin board” where you can post messages that others can respond to ● Centralized location for discussion of topics ● Also known as discussion board, discussion group, message board, or online forum ● Can be local or international
History ● Discussion forums began before the internet with BBS in 1978 ● Usenet was another early form of message board used internationally ● WIT software developed in 1994, most widely used
What are forums used to discuss? ● Anything and everything! ● Often based around hobbies or lifestyles ● Automobiles, exercise, parenthood, gaming, sports, and politics are some popular topics ● Also used for education and online learning
Examples Top 10 forums: 1. Gaia 2. ConceptArt 3. Something Awful 4. PB Nation 5. Martial Arts Planet 6. Fan Forum 7. Honda Tech 8. C6 Corvette Forum 9. The Student Room 10. NeoGAF
Examples
Examples
Advantages ● Provide an easy way for people to get relevant information about a certain topic ● Foster a sense of community ● Inspire users through encouragement and sharing of accomplishments ● Allow users to connect throughout the world ● Anonymity
Disadvantages ● Discussion needs to be moderated ● Spammers ● Negative association with host site ● Information may be inaccurate
