Online discussion is a relatively new form of communication , facilitated usually by computer network s. The first such communications were on mainframe based systems such as the PLATO system in the early 1970s. By the mid 1980 s, dial up bulletin board system s or BBS s run by hobbyists on personal computers began to host online discussions, as well. As networks became more sophisticated, and access to said networks became easier such as through universities and dial up access , networks like USENET hosted an immense range of discussions. In the early 1990s, Internet Relay Chat became and remains popular. With the advent of the World wide web WWW , myriad web forum s have become new forums for discussion. Online discussion groups tend to have a social element to them similar to a clique . There are generally established leaders perhaps the owner of the medium the communication travels across , as well as more and less frequent communicators or posters . Additionally, a discussion of the social properties of online discussion would not be complete without mention of the internet troll . These social networks can be very dynamic, can contain many thousands of members, and can even originate Smart mob swarm s such as the WTO Ministerial Conference of 1999 protest activity 1999 Seattle protests .

Merge Internet forum date March 2010 A discussion group is an online Internet forum forum for individuals to discuss various topics amongst each other. People add their comments by post ing a block of text to the group. Others can then comment and respond. In the early days of the Internet , USENET was the most popular type of discussion group, but now discussions mostly take place over the World Wide Web using special server software. The term discussion group encompasses Internet forum web based forum s, bulletin board s, listserv s, mailing list s, and newsgroup s. Discussion groups differ from chatroom s and instant messaging because they usually deal with one topic and personal exchanges are typically discouraged. Discussion groups are often archive d. These archives may be organized by Conversation threading thread , which means all the messages that reply to a starting message can be read in some order. Participants in discussion groups should realize that what they have to say will be public knowledge for years to come. For example, Google s Groups formerly DejaNews is an archive of Usenet articles dating back to 1981 . Discussion group archives are sometimes the best way to find an answer to very obscure questions, such as how to fix a particular computer problem. web stub Category Internet culture cs Diskuse da Diskussion de Diskussion et Diskussioon es Discusi n eo Diskuto lt Diskusija pl Grupa dyskusyjna pt Discuss o ru sk Diskusia ... more details
