Internet forum[edit]

I've rewritten this article, with the help of Stevietheman. It's been on peer review with a couple of comments, and I'd like to see it become a featured article. Talrias (t | e | c) 13:38, 7 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • Object. Not nearly long enough. The history needs to be delved into more deeply, and pretty much every other element of the article needs expansion too. plattopustalk 17:51, May 7, 2005 (UTC)
  • Object. No references. Not comprehensive: there is not earnest coverage of the social aspects of forums or their place within the Internet and wider society; there is no history; the article is just not fleshed out, there are many topics given a one-sentence island, with context unexplained (and the top screenshot is not explained in the text, though the caption gives importance to this forum being the largest). Currently, I think the article is only a broad description of contemporary forum software. 119 23:31, 7 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Object. Nicely written but only scratches the surface. What about avatars, user profiles, registration, even a reference to trolling and flame wars? --PopUpPirate 14:23, May 9, 2005 (UTC)
