An e-forum is a website that encourages people to engage in online discussions on different topics. A registered user of a forum can raise interesting questions or reply to questions raised by other subscribers. The advantage of e-forums is that your opinions are seldom edited if they are within the limits of common civil decorum, because unlike a printed magazine, these forums do not have any page limitations.
The e-forums are an advantage for an author who is looking for fresh ideas, and wants to discuss ideas with other knowledgeable persons. There is usually no free joining a forum, and one is free not to post any replies or questions if one is not satisfies with the community.
Joining an e-forum can help an author to mature his/her thinking and responding skills. The postings on various forums are often visible by a search on a powerful search engine., say Google, Yahoo or MSN. So if you have posted any thought of any substance and registered by your real name, and if someone searches the Net on your name, he will find some entries in your name.
In case you do not find any e-forum that suits your interests, you can start your own e-forum site. It is not particularly difficult, but it can’t be totally free. Starting a new e-forum site is almost like starting a website – one needs to register the domain name and hire space on a web server. The software for e-forums is often available free of cost. Starting an e-forum website is quite similar to starting a free publishing house. It entitles a lot of responsibilities, but then that is a minor price to pay for the enjoyment that it brings.
