Forum <-> Messageboard

I've been wonderin, what's the difference between a forum and a messageboard??

None, they're synonyms.

Well it depends mainly on how people use them, sometimes a messageboard can even be a blog or whatever. But usually it's the same...

If if recall, there is a difference. When looking for a system, there isn't, but they most times mean something different.

A Messageboard is more of a thing for meetup groups, and teams, that they can post things that need to go on, and upcoming things. Often used for blogs.

A forum is open to most discussion based on the topic its about. Not really limited to much.

Just the terms, I guess.

I found this two sites.... One is a forum and one is a messageboard....

One is called Ragnaboard where the theme is about ragnarok online, a mmorpg game... Another is the TantraForums where the theme is about Tantra online, another mmorpg game...

In that case, they are both the same.
