Online Discussion Forum

In this practical, we are also asked to access either a discussion forum or a newsgroup that is related to our topic. I started by searching Google for a topic relating to my topic on Volcanoes. There are many results on different forum sites on the topic Volcano. However, many of the post have become "stagnant". For example, the newest post in the thread can be dated a year or two ago. So, I doubt the person who started the thread will reply my post.

Finally, I come across a forum page http://www.topix.com/. They have different topics in their forum page and were widely used by netizens. Then, I found a few discussions related to my topic and quickly decided on one. Here it is: http://www.topix.com/forum/news/volcanic-eruption/TG4NHS3I6R6H23QGG#lastPost. There is a total of 14 posts and the posts are quite recent.

Here are some screenshots:

I have replied a few posts on the thread.

The forum page also shows related discussions on volcanoes where I could access at ease.
