i may be new to 4chan but before i came to this website i acted like a true /b/tard on other forums without knowing about this site, i only found out about 4chan because of other peoples replies on my posts on other forums, /b/ is exactly my type of humor so please respect
ah yes, a bulletin board system is a forum, and is composed of individual boards, which in turn are composed of threads, which in turn are composed of posts. (Or at SA, stupidly named buttons Post will create a thread and Reply will post a reply, leading to members accidentally creating a whole new thread when they meant only to post a reply, because why would Post mean create a whole fuckin' thread, Christ, an then they ban you those fucks, but really they don't ban you, they just cancel your membership and you can rejoin right away for another 10 fucking dollars those pricks.)
