I agree with you. It's more informal than a "forum" like you would find at a symposium, conference, or something like that.

And what I like about a forum over a chat room is that people are not on commenting all at the same time. I can't follow a chat room. It just goes down the screen in a line. On the forum, it's divided into subjects, and the posts come one at a time. In a chat room, they're all thrown together.
