A forum is a web application that is intended for holding discussions and posting users’ opinions on certain topics. Oftentimes, forums are like little communities where members basically know one another. There are several other terms that also refer to forum. Others may call it as message board, discussion board, or web forums.
Before getting into any forum, make sure that they allow you to add a signature file, not all do. Read the Fact before joining, not after. A signature will admit you to add three or four lines of copy describing you and your business. Each time you post in that forum your signature will show up at the bottom of your post, just like the signature used with email.
In forums, you can't see any facial expression or hear any tone of voice. You can only read what they have posted. This is where the confusion might start. To avoid that, there are various ways that you can show what you really mean and give emphasis to what you really feel. Some use bold letters. Some use italicized or underlined words while others put some special characters to indicate emphasis.
