Forums act as a message system, in which posts are left and can be viewed at a later date or time.

Chat Rooms happen in real time and you can lose track of the conversation

Forums act as a community about a particular topic

Chat rooms are used for spur-of-the-moment discussions and topics of the conversation can be changed

Forums are normally based on one person asking a question and others answering it

Chat rooms are based on multiple topics and numerous conversations can happen

Forums tend to last longer due to the fact you can search for threads

Chat rooms tend to last a short name time and the information is nor stored

To prevent spam forums often require users to sign up in order to answer questions

Chat rooms are often free to use and available to anyone

Forums are displayed as ordinary websites

Chat rooms require installation of browser extensions, plugins or third party software
