Hello. Welcome to this educational rant. And EduRant, if you will (and you’d better).

Today, we’ll learn the anatomy of fora, because lately, quite a few people have called parts for fora by the wrong names. Here we go.

A fora, is a group of forums. (Some people just say forums). I.e., Kirupa is a fora (Not the person. The place)

A forum is a sub unit of a fora, and is a group of threads. I.e., Random is a forum.

A thread is sub unit of a forum, and a group of posts. I.e, “Anatomy of fora” is a thread.

A post is a subunit of a thread, and a group of words and or letters put together in a coherent or incoherent way depending on the user. I.e. you are currently reading a post.
