I was used to an entite site being called a forum and the thread category slots were boards.

In the past year or so, people on Acmlmboard and ABXD called the entire site a board and the individual categories as forums.

Well, now I have become used to calling sites "boards". But Proboards and Wikipedia, for example, call the sites "forums".

So what do all of you prefer? The entire site being called a forum or a board?

What we post on is a board. Acmlmboard. What we post in are known as forums, or sub forums. Categories hold these forums.

So that's the way it goes. :P

I tend to prefer the AcmlmBoard method ;) (I come from a board which used "pinned" "topics", not sticky threads, heh :P)

I just use them interchangeably, totally without thought, just like all the rest of the language I use. :P

I'm used to the Acmlm's Way. A board has many forums. But I've been to places where it's the reverse.

"Pinned" threads tend to confuse me briefly before I remember they're just sticky threads.

Are you saying this place isn't serious? What about Trelior, is that serious enough for you? :P

Plus this software was always AcmlmBoard, not AcmlmForum.

Applies to other software, too. There is no Invision Forum, ProForum, EZforum, or IkonForum, past or present.

Nowadays, however, I'm more used to "thread" than "topic", "sticky" than "pinned", etc. :P (still, I mainly saw "Forums" in the Sonic community, such as "SSRG Forums", "Sonic Retro Forums", etc. :P)

I have often seen the General Chat forum of various places called the "General Board", which also got me into the mixup I once had.

I get confused in some places, Iook for a "board" just to find they call them "forums"..

Thus, I feel like an idiot.

You're not alone. ;) It seems like they are used interchangebly throughout the internet. Same with "thread" and "topic".

I guess that's just what happens when you have all these interchangeable words in English.

I once went to a board where every forum was called "____ Board". General Board, Mario Board, Yoshi Board...

I would've hated to be there, I bet that got annoying to browse through or even look at after a while. :P

Yep. For a while there were no categories either. So about 20 listings of just "____ Board".

Was the board for discussing matters pertaining to boards called the Board Board?

That's how I've always looked at it.
