Typically, common Internet forum software will allow the [[webmaster]] or administrator to define several ''forums'' (or fora) which act as containers for ''topics'' or ''threads'' started by users. Other users can post replies to topics and start new ones as they wish.

Many Internet Forum software packages are available, usually written in [[PHP programming language|PHP]], [[Perl]], or [[Java programming language|Java]], and run by a [[Common Gateway Interface|CGI]] or [[Java Servlet]].

Packages are often integrated within [[weblog]]s or news posting scripts (such as [[PHP-Nuke]]) to allow people to post comments on articles or entries.

An Internet forum (aka message board or discussion board) is a web application that provides for online discussions, and is the modern descendant of the bulletin board systems and existing Usenet news systems that were widespread in the 1980s and 1990s. An Internet forum typically exists as part of a website and invites users to start topics and discuss issues with one another. Sometimes, a forum even comprises most, if not all, of the content of a site. Compared to wikis, Internet forums don't allow users to edit the forum posts of other users; however, administrators and moderators generally have the capability of doing this.

Other notes

It is interesting that many Internet forums tend to develop into social communities, with their own social rules and even language forming a subculture. Some members organize social events, sometimes involving extensive international travel. It is not uncommon for members to marry people (sometimes from different countries) they have met on the forum.

Despite being an Internet tool, one thus popularly supposed to be part of the trends of anti-literacy, forums generate a huge amount of writing in posts. In sharp contrast to other Internet technologies such as instant messaging, many forum users often abide by correct spelling, grammar, and other rules of writing. The sheer amount of composition in such forums is sometimes thought to have exceeded the number of standard letters written.
