What is a forum?
Forum is an online communication place related to network technology.

Generally, it is the BBS that everyone often mentions. ? The English full name of BBS is Bulletin Board System, and Chinese translation is "bulletin board system". BBS was first used to publish information such as stock price. At that time, BBS didn't even have the function of file transfer.

And it can only run on Apple computers. It was not until personal computers began to spread, and some people tried to transfer BBS from Apple computers to personal computers, that BBS began to spread gradually. In recent years, due to the efforts of fans, the functions of BBS have been greatly expanded.

Forum classification:

1, comprehensive forum

Usually, large portals have enough popularity, cohesion and strong backing, which will make them very powerful, but for small-scale network companies or resume forums, they tend to choose theme forums to make them more exquisite.

2. Thematic forum

Compared with the comprehensive forum, this kind of forum is a special forum, which can attract people with the same interests to exchange and discuss, and is conducive to the classification, integration and collection of information. Thematic forums play an important role in academic research and teaching, such as military forums, emotional forums, computer enthusiasts forums, animation forums and so on.
