Message
boards are also known as internet forums or discussion boards. They are basically a web application that
serves for online discussions. They are
also considered as the modern heir of the bulletin board systems as well as
existing Usenet news systems that were far-flung in the 1980s and 1990s.

does a bulletin board system means lies on the idea that it is a computer
system running software that allows users to have contact into the system
through phone line and then carry out actions such as downloading software and

Speaking
of computer system, the message boards generally appear to be part of a
website. They encourage the computer
users to involve or participate in the online discussions. This simply means that that the computer
users have the chance to start topics and discuss issues with one another. If we will look at it as a whole system, it
seems that “team work” is present there.
Message Board and Wikis
There
are some times when message boards comprise most, if not all, the content of a
particular mise-en-scene. Also, most of
the time, the users are not allowed to edit or to change the one’s post on the
forum. However, since message boards are
usually controlled by the known site “administrators” and “moderators”, these
people have access to the posting as well as on editing. It is this feature actually that compares
message boards to wikis, a website that allows the users of the forum to add
content. Unlike message board, the wikis
gives the full authority to the users in editing the content written on the
pages.

I guess most of you are familiar with weblogs
or blogs. Well, these are but another
form of internet application that contain periodic, reverse chronologically
ordered posts on a common webpage. The
difference between weblogs and message boards basically lies on the fact that
message boards mainly grant the board uses to employ and discuss topics that
are sometime referred as “threads”.
Weblogs, on the other hand, only permit one or few users to post an
entry. In addition, most of the message
boards apt to be more spiked in focus, while weblogs apt to be more particular
to a particular topic or issue.

Generally
speaking, a message board or internet forum has certain characteristics that
differ greatly from the other web applications. It can be flat, which means that each
response from the other user within a particular topic is listed in
chronological order. It can further be
threaded, where every post is linked from a parent post.
