History: Forums

            With Tiki, you don't need to add-on a forum software to compliment your website - tiki includes forms and they integrate with the wiki, blogs and articles content, all using the same wiki-syntax.

* A forum is a collection of topics (also called __threads__) about a subject. You can have a forum to discuss a product, movies, sports, the weather; anything you think of. 
* A topic/thread is a collection of messages (also called __posts__) in a particular forum. 
* A post/message is a message a user has submitted about a particular topic. 
* The first post in a topic is what defines that topic, follow up posts are replies to that topic.
