A forum is an online discussion board where people can ask questions, share their experiences, and discuss topics of mutual interest.
Forums are an excellent way to create social connections and a sense of community. They can also help you to cultivate an interest group about a particular subject.
Use the Forums application to start discussions about a specific topic or to debate solutions to shared problems. By participating in a forum, you can exchange ideas, ask questions, and use the expertise of people in your organization.
A forum can be stand-alone or be associated with a community. In a stand-alone forum, anyone can post a topic or respond to a topic, but only a community member can participate in a community forum.
