Would it be safe to call a Forum...
 
A Social Board?

When speaking in generalities?

If you had a Forum about movies....And someone considered you a "Social Board" because of the interaction, would you correct them?

I'm just curious because my friend has a mini directory of forums and he's titled it 'social board directory' - and I can't help but think people are going to think it's going to be for off-topic boards/forums only..

If you read 'Social Board Directory' would you think of it for only off-topic forums? Or would you assume it's for all types, and using 'social' as a general term for interacting/conversing?

No it'd be considering part of the web2.0 marketing bullshit of phrases people use.

Rename something old, with some new "catchy name" and prosper

It's like the "immigrants" we now call "newcomers" ... stupid.

I'm sure they prefer to be called Mexicans over new comers any way :up:

I rather call a forum a Online Community.

the word "board" is more related to the "bulletin board system" of the 90's ...
