What is a Discussion:

Discussions, also referred to as Forums or Boards, provide a platform for people to gather and discuss topics, and interests.

It is also meant to consolidate comments about a topic together so that they can be found easily.


Discussions are not meant for general posts. If you have a general post, post them into the main area of this site, where you can find them under the “New”, “Hot”, or “Personal” feeds.


Feel free to engage with other users in the Discussions. To start a new discussion, use the Discussions > Create a Discussion tab.
