Resources for Discussion Forums
Discussion Forums are very popular, as not only are they useful
(and sometimes fun), but they encourage people to regularly
visit your web site.
Here are some resources to help you set up your own discussion forum:
- ASP Discussion Forum Scripts
ASP scripts for running Discussion Forums. Requires a web host that supports ASP.
- CGI Discussion Forum Scripts
CGI and Perl scripts for running Discussion Forums. Requires a web host that supports CGI.
- PHP Discussion Forum Scripts
PHP scripts for running Discussion Forums. Requires a web host that supports PHP.
- Remotely Hosted Discussion Forum Services
Remotely hosted Discussion Forum services. These may be a good choice if your host does not support ASP, CGI or PHP.
- CBRocket
CBRocket is our company's script. It is primarily about allowing your visitors to search
ClickBank without leaving your
web site. However, it also allows you to show ads which are targeted based
on the page's <TITLE> tag. As most discussion boards will place the
subject of a post in this tag, it means that you can easily show ads which
(usually) tie-in with the subject's of people's posts.
Here are some books from Amazon:

Today, politicians and intellectuals warn that we face a crisis of civility and a veritable war of words polluting our public sphere. In liberal democracies committed to tolerating diversity as well as active, often heated disagreement, the loss of this conversational virtue appears critical. But is civility really a virtue? Or is it, as critics claim, a covert demand for conformity that silences dissent? Mere Civility sheds light on our predicament and the impasse between “civilitarians” and their opponents by examining early modern debates about religious toleration. As concerns about uncivil disagreement achieved new prominence after the Reformation, seventeenth-century figures as different as Roger Williams, Thomas Hobbes, and John Locke could agree that some restraint on the war of words would be necessary. But they recognized that the prosecution of incivility was often difficult to distinguish from persecution. In their efforts to reconcile diversity with disagreement, they developed competing conceptions of civility as the social bond of tolerant societies that still resonate. Most modern appeals to civility follow either Hobbes or Locke by proposing to suppress disagreement or exclude persons and positions deemed “uncivil” for the sake of social concord. Compared with his contemporaries’ more robust ideals, Williams’s unabashedly mere civility―a minimal, occasionally contemptuous adherence to culturally contingent rules of respectful behavior―is easily overlooked. Yet Teresa Bejan argues that Williams offers a promising path forward in confronting our own crisis of civility, one that fundamentally challenges our assumptions about what a tolerant―and civil―society should look like. |

Product Description:
Every day, millions of users log on to their favorite online forums, communities and social spaces and interact with others to get advice and discuss everything from the latest news and trends to their hobbies and professions to whatever else strikes their fancy. Administrators have to lead these communities, deal with difficult users, manage staff members and make tough decisions.
Legal constraints, spammers and technical issues can turn the excitement of running an online community into chaos. With the right guidance, however, running forums can be an enjoyable and rewarding experience. My name is Patrick O'Keefe and I own the iFroggy Network. I've spent years developing and managing online communities. In this book, I share my experiences in a straight forward, honest fashion and show you how to make the right decisions about every aspect of your forums, including:
- Creating an organizational structure
- Designing and launching your community
- Deciding on user options like avatars and private messaging
- Promoting and attracting members
- Utilizing technology to your benefit
- Developing and enforcing guidelines
- Choosing and managing moderators
- Shutting down users who disrupt and harm the community
- Involving your users and keeping the site interesting and inviting
- Generating revenue
What is talked about in this book is not hypothetical - it consists of in use, battle-tested theories and solutions, making it so that when you must deal with these issues on your forums, you will be better equipped. Real life examples are cited throughout, including the actual user guidelines, staff member guidelines and more, from real communities.
This is a book for both new administrators and experienced ones. If you are new, it will give you a major boost as you grow your knowledge and build your community. If you are already an administrator that's leading a successful community, the book can enhance your knowledge and give you more to think about and, with that, even more experience for you to pull from.
"Managing Online Forums" is the one book that shows site owners and administrators how to create a safe and entertaining community that users will return to again and again. |

The Internet has impacted on the media in many crucial ways. Practices and laws have evolved, and the Internet has even exerted an existential influence over the format and viability of contemporary media outlets. In order to explore this important and on-going interaction, the Fifth Free Speech Discussion Forum assembled in London in 2012, involving a combination of leading scholars and practicing lawyers from North America and Europe. The papers in this collection therefore reflect a rich range of jurisdictions and experiences, with comparative approaches strongly to the fore. Some chapters deal directly with issues around the battles for survival of the established print and broadcast media in an Internet age. The Internet is also having profound effects on the delivery of mass free speech by forcing us to reconsider new approaches to legal designs and practices, especially within the jurisprudence of privacy, defamation, obscenity, and counter-terrorism. At the same time, the Internet must be equally acknowledged as offering considerable advantages for the production and publication of free speech by opening sources of information and channels of communication. Those who ignore the Internet's transformative capacity in the development of media law invite the fate of early redundancy or easy evasion. Thus, the chapters in this book offer original and authoritative insights into core debates around the interactions between the Internet, media, and law. |

Reddit has spawned an incredible amount of little factoids delivered straight from the lives of the users, who all readily reveal themselves (truthfully or deceitfully, one can never tell) to take the weight off their shoulders, confess their minds, reveal parts of themselves that they never could in real life, for closure, for help, to leave a little part of their life on the web that they can never forget. This book highlights some of the funnier, more provocative, soul-punching, salacious commentary provided by the users of Reddit. |
