forums allow group members to share ideas. unlike some web forum systems, our discussions are fully threaded. this means that it is simple to keep track of which forum posts belong to a particular thread of conversation.forum management facilities include the ability to archive threads, removing them from display but still allowing them to be referenced and a thread mover, allowing conversations to be transferred between forums.
