Community Message Board To Discuss Ideas
By Calista Joyner
A community message board could be based on your geographic location,
but it could also be a virtual community based around a particular
interest. Often times these communities aren’t simply for fun,
but serve a functional purpose as well.
When you want to evoke change, finding a sense of community is
essential. You’re more likely to stay on path if you’re frequently
in contact with others who validate and reinforce your lifestyle
choices.
People Connecting Online
At WeightWatchers.com,
people can connect with others who share the same end goal of
losing weight on their community message board. You’re more likely
to succeed when you surround yourself with people who share your
same concerns, obstacles and dreams. Sharing tips, recipes and
stories of personal triumph can be inspiring and can also generate
great change in your life.
With over 8,000 active members, Soberrecovery.com
is a community message board for those looking to kick alcohol
and substance abuse for good. During this especially trying time,
it’s essential to rally as many understanding, nonjudgmental people
to your side as you can! Sometimes recovering addicts feel ashamed
going to friends and family for support. Tremendous inspiration
can be found from people who have been there and survived.
An Electronic Water Cooler
Ever wonder who needs extra help in the office, or what inside
advancement positions are open for you? Vault.com
has what they call - an electronic watercooler - for employers
and employees to participate in a community message board.
You can get company news, advice, updates and answers to your
questions in this discussions forum. The site lists employers
like JPMorgan, IBM, Bloomberg, Ernst & Young, Deloitte, Citigroup
and more. This could be an invaluable resource to check when it
comes to upward mobility!
Sometimes people need more than encouragement, but strength through
community. When you’ve lost a loved one and become widowed, you
may feel alone in your feelings and completely bereft.

At the Young Widow Bulletin Board (YWBB.org),
there are over 90,000 posts in any given category where people
post anything on their minds. For instance, someone posted they
had a bad day, another person is seeking afterlife books, one
thread allows people to share memories of loved ones who’ve passed
and a new widow wonders if things will get any easier.
Different Categories For Different Topics
There are all different categories for each stage of grief on
this community message board and it’s sort of like an interactive
diary for many. While this may seem depressing to some, a lot
of positive things come from this experience -- from the perception
that no one is alone, to finding the courage to rebuild a life
again after tragedy, to meeting new people.
If you think you might want to get involved in some discussions
but can’t think of one particular topic that sparks your interest,
you might want to try something like OffTopic.com,
which is an active community message board with dozens of topics
-- everything from religion, politics and armed forces to dating,
to trading and gaming.
Finding Strength Through Community
Another group that finds strength through a community message
board is the Christian forums members -- all 201,789 of them!

At Http://Foru.ms,
members can discuss music, entertainment, hobbies, sports and
their faith, without persecution or the childishness that sometimes
accompanies group discussions. It can be helpful to get answers
from pastors or hear inspirational stories about other people
living a pious lifestyle.
There used to be a taboo about meeting people at a community
message board over the internet. Yet more and more people are
finding a sense of virtual "community" these days.
Whether it’s to deal with grief and rekindle your faith, or to
meet people with similar interests and get dating advice, the
world has become a global village where anyone from any country
can be a member of the tribe.

Did You Know This About Discussion Forums?
What is a discussion forum?
A discussion forum is a place online
that people write out their opinions or advice and post
so that others can read. The forum is comparable to a
coffee house where a group of people gather together to
discuss the latest events, except it is all done online.
There will be disagreements no matter what age group the
forum targets.
How these disagreements are posted will differ depending on how
controversial the topic, the general age and the knowledge of
the individuals. Even among older individuals, it can degenerate
into a name calling event in which one person becomes angry and
resorts to elementary school behavior.
