Internet forum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (1170 words)
	Forum software can be broadly divided between those which allow visitors to post anonymously, and those which attribute posts to a registered username.
	In these types of forums, the members are often able to customise both how their posts display to others (for example avatars, user profiles and signatures) and how the board appears to them (such as different themes).
	Forums differ from chat rooms and instant messaging because they usually deal with one topic and personal exchanges are typically discouraged.
