Bulletin Boards are online communities that allow users to posts messages on a subject and allow those posts to be replied to in a string of posts called a thread. This type of web-based online community allows for the user to follow the thread from its inception. This form of online community has become popular in recent years, due to its flexibility for its members. The user can create a profile, screen name, avatar, and have an e-mail sent to their email address if another member posts a response to their post.
