What type of people use forums?

What is that brings people to Internet forums like ours? I mean, there are other resources to get information such as books or the yellow pages. Why do people sign up for forums to post questions and answers? Do you think that posting on forums can save you time? Where do you see your benefits as a forum member?

This forum is one of the few ways of getting my questions about English answered (right now it is actually the only way because the English classes I had attended broke up for the summer a few months ago Smile

)

Sometimes the forum had one or several special theme can "narrow" the mass to be a smaller group. Just like people who instereted in cars and they will be assembled in a forum which everybody talking about that. But we may live in an actual environment which no people care about cars at all.

I grinned when I read your question, Torsten.Do you have any idea how cool your site is?

But, to answer your question properly, I think the internationality that attracts me the most.

I think many ideas you can't speak out or get in your real life in the fear of hurt others and this really a nice site where I can ask for help and get response promptly~~.
I attended many english oral courses before which cost me much money but got little. So the forum is just like a classroom where i have teachers and classmates.

I first logged onto the forum when I was looking for some answers, especially the difference between American and British English. I teach conversational English. So it is a good way for me to learn things that I can explain to my students. And I guess it’s faster than using books etc..

Then I really got into the site and I found the interaction interesting. Very international and very interesting to see the different opinions and views people have.

Use forums in general or THIS forum? I use forums because they're often a good source of information

Forums exist because people like discussing their favourite subjects, i.e. languages, sports, cars, trips, games, et cetera. This forum, in particular, serves both purposes of helping out people who are learning the language and those who just seek a way to spend their leisure time or are eager helpers. Razz
