Describe message boards.

What will be an ideal response?


Message boards (also called discussion groups and forums) are Web pages designed to facilitate written discussions on specific subjects, such as TV shows, computers, movies, investing, gardening, music, photography, or politics. They typically have a moderator who monitors the forum to remove inappropriate posts. When a participant posts a message, it is displayed for anyone accessing the message board to read and respond to. Messages are usually organized by topics (called threads); participants can post new messages in response to an existing message and stay within that thread, or they can start a new thread. Forum participants do not have to be online at the same time so participants can post and respond to messages at their convenience.
