I am new to the site, glad to be here, but I need clarification.
I see there is a 'Forums' section which looks an awful lot like the 'Chat' section, i.e., a list of various topics, questions, comments.
To my way of thinking, a forum is a static email message based repository of postings on various topics, while a chat area including 1 or more rooms/channels/conferences where one can chat in real time, i.e., text messaging/chatting/instant messaging.
Have I misread the section labels here? Please advise!
