| #1. MB Post or Post (message board) |

A piece of information you wish to share with the rest of the community. A new post can be the start of a new thread (the thread starter), or it can be a reply to an existing thread that someone else created. You have the chance to edit and/or delete your message within a certain period of time, if you make a mistake.

| #2. Moderator (message board) |

This is the name for the person or people who run a specific topic, responsible for keeping the conversation (thread) on-topic, offering assistance to new members, and sparking conversation. The moderator can also post special rules for his/her topic or make announcements.

| #3. Thread (message board) |

A conversation on a subject with 1 or more posts. The first post is called the starter post. Each additional post is called a reply.
