a few days ago i created a private forum(phpbb) for me and my classmates.
but sadly when i told them abt my forum,they kept asking me why a forum when there are communities like orkut.com r hi5 .i tried to explain them how good a forum can be but all went in vain ,can anyone give me ideas and advantages of having a forum rather than a community.


p.s:btw is there really a diff between a community and a forum ??
