The IrishEnvy.com Forums (and indeed, most other forums) can be thought of hierarchically:
The bulletin board (collectively also known as message boards, discussion forums, etc.) consists of separate forums (e.g., Fighting Irish Football, Fighting Irish Recruiting). Each forum consists of many threads. Each thread consists of 1 to many posts.
Generally, a thread is initiated with a question or a comment about a topic that has not been discussed elsewhere or that has not been discussed for quite some time. People then reply to that initial post or the subsequent posts, creating a "thread" of discussion.
