Internet forum
An Internet forum is a web application which provides a way to hold textual discussions. Forums are also known as discussion boards and discussion groups.
Popular BDSM and fetish discussion topics are around aspects of power exchange and viewpoints on fetish fetish clothing and clubbing. Techniques are discussed and the larger sites, with many forums on them, often include specific areas for dominants and submissives to share views and information. Several forum sites are combined with other Internet websites such as matchmaking, commercial products and lifestyle articles.
Older forums date back to around 1996, following the newsgroups and bulletin board systems which were widespread in the 1980s and 1990s. For a further description of Internet forums, see the the Wikipedia aricle on Internet forums.
