Does a forum count as a site? I always ask my webmaster communities this to see their point of view.

[M Nabil]

Sure it does, it uses a domain and hosting, it must be a site

[Gareth_Boyd]

Well its a form of discussion, so it kind of isn't a site and kind of is. Since it has content so it kind of does count as a site then ... ahhh confusing!

Yes, I have one forum and I consider it a site. You'll get a lot of information from my forum, so there's the content.

A website ... is a collection of web pages, images, videos and other digital assets and hosted on a particular domain or subdomain on the World Wide Web.

You can talk about site, blog, forum, online tool, search engine, directory... - all websites.

You have mail accounts, file servers (ftp), usenet, IRC, IM...which are not called websites.

By my description, website is any http :// content which doesn't require to open a personal account to be able to read it. In almost all websites you'll need to login to be able to write on it though.

A forum is definitely a site. I don't think anyone really considers it something else.

Yep forums are sites, especially now that with all these hacks you can have blocks on a forum and other "site" commodities.

[cloudybutnice]

Yes, I think a forum is a site.

[giovanni]

Yeah, of course a site is a forum, or I would only have 1 site otherwise. I have a forum too and a site.

Forum is definitely a site.. as long as it has a domain it is considered as a site....

[aimhigh]

Of course it is a site. What else do you wish to call it.

Forums are top notch sites. They allow interactivity within the visitors. I also think forums have potential if properly ran.
