Internet forum
An Internet forum is a website, or just a section on a larger one, where people can talk, ask questions, give advice, share pictures, etc. Usually, all the messages are written.
A forum involves topics, threads, posts, moderators, and the user community. Most of them have the content available for anyone but require you to create an account if you want to write something.
Forums are different from chat rooms and the article’s comments area. They are organized into sections, so, before posting something, you have to look for the right topic before creating a post.
Most forums are moderated according to some internal rules, which are available to read for anyone that wants to start a discussion or to post a reply.
