How to create a free forum
Web forum, or message board, is a class of web applications to organize communication between website visitors. This term corresponds to the initial meaning of the word «forum».
A forum offers a number of sections for discussions. Users post messages in sections and then discuss them inside those threads. As a rule a forum is divided into: Sections → threads → posts.
