forum
<messaging> (Plural "fora" or "forums") Any discussion group accessible
through a dial-in BBS (e.g. GEnie, CI$), a mailing list, or a Usenet newsgroup
(see network, the). A forum functions much like a bulletin board; users submit
postings for all to read and discussion ensues.
Contrast real-time chat or point-to-point personal e-mail.
