Forums

From sasCommunity

Forums are a facility on the World Wide Web for holding discussions and posting user generated content and data from around 1995. They address a similar requirement/function as the dial-up bulletin boards and Internet newsgroups, such as the SAS-L list. As recognized by the members of the SAS-L list, forums foster a sense of virtual community. For sasCommunity.org visitors who are not familiar with forums, the definition on Wikipedia provides a good overview.

Typically Forums are specific to certain general areas or class of topics. Any user can read and respond to a posting in any topic. Likewise, any user can create a new topic (sometimes called a thread in Internet newsgroups).

Creating new Forums or groups of forums is an administrative function that only certain administrators have access to. However, we have created a Forum where users can suggest and discuss the creation of new forums. If you want to propose a new Forum, please check out the Suggestions for Forums and Categories forum. If you see a topic related to your idea to a forum, comment there. Otherwise just create a new topic.

sasCommunity.org also has a forum, sasCommunity - general site feedback, whose intended use is to discuss proposed changes and additions to sascommunity.org.

You can also go to list of all Forums. This list has the Forums grouped into categories.

Forums can also be found on the SAS support site.
