An Internet forum or message board is an online discussion site. It originated as the modern alternative of a traditional bulletin board, and a technological progress of the dialup bulletin board system. From a technological standpoint, forums or boards are web applications which are capable of managing user-generated content. An Internet forum is also different from a chat room. Members in a chat room typically all chat or converse at the same time, as members in an Internet forum place messages to be read by others each time they happen to log on. Internet forums also tend to be more topic-focused than chat rooms. Before a potential member joins an Internet forum and makes posts to others, he or she is typically required to register. The potential member must regularly agree to follow certain online rules, sometimes called netiquette, such as to respect other members and refrain from using profanity. When a member is approved by the administrator or moderator of the Internet forum, the member typically chooses his or her own user name and password. Sometimes, a password is supplied. An avatar, or photograph or picture, supplied by the member can come into view under the member's user name in each post. The separate discussions in an Internet forum are called threads. Threads are made up of member-written posts. Internet forum members can typically edit their own posts, start new topics, post in their choice of threads and edit their profile. A profile generally lists optional information about each forum member such as the city they are situated in and their interests. An Internet forum administrator or monitor may also contribute in the forum. A forum administrator can generally alter threads as well as move or delete threads if needed. Administrators can also change software items in an Internet forum. Moderators often help the administrator and moderate Internet forum members to make certain the forum rules are being followed.
