What is a forum?
Id like to know what is behind a forum, what drives it.. Is it simply a database? like an on-line SQL system? how does it work? what are its fundamentals?
I imagine a tree structure.. with a root that the sub-forums branch from, threads branch again, and posts are nodes or just entries in a table? Our posts, are they simply the text we input with some simple formatting code?
So, Bro, put the baby bottle down and tell me whats what![Coffee :coffee: :coffee:](/data/assets/smilies/coffee.gif)
