    I agree, but I dont agree with the second part.. just because people join doesnt mean you have a community. Its when those people stick around and start to contribute to the forum, and get along with others and get to know them is when you have a community.

    I can't define the difference between a forum and a community, partly because a community can still be a forum. But I can define a community as a place where relationships have been built between many users, creating a gigantic network.
