Chapter 8. Forums

Internet users like to feel part of a community of people with similar interests. A successful site should build a community of loyal visitors, a place where they can discuss their favorite subjects, ask questions, and reply to others. Community members return often to talk to other people with whom they've already shared messages, or to find comments and opinions about their interests. This chapter outlines some of the advantages of building such a virtual community, its goals, and the design and implementation of a new module for setting up and managing discussion boards.
