Within a selected subforum, a topic can be created by a forum visitor
which can be viewed and/or optionally replied to by other forum visitors
(by posting a message in response). This discussion forms the basis of
forum debate, creating a "thread" of visitor replies.
Forum contributors simply register and enter their own login details to
post or reply to topics.
