What are forums?
A forum is kinda like instant messaging. You post a topic like "Cows are special", and then other people will reply to it maybe saying "I don't like cows" or something like that. You can also pm someone, which is just like chat. You pm them a message, and only you and the reciever of the message can see it. You can also put links, glow text, music, images, and much more in every post you make! You can even have a signature that will appear in your every post without you having to type it over and over again!
