There's no "lore". Kbin uses /m/ for "magazines". Every freakin' site needs to come up with its own word for the social/data structures that are obviously correctly called "forums".

Or maybe "newsgroups".

This but the plural is "fora".

We're speaking English. "Forums" is just as, if not more correct than "fora"
