8.2.1. Forum Discussions

There are contributed modules available that add integration between Drupal and other forum systems, such as phpBB, but Drupal itself comes with its own simple forum using the built-in Forum module. The Forum module uses regular Drupal core concepts such as taxonomy (for forum containers and forums themselves), nodes (for posts inside a forum), and comments (for replies), which makes it integrate seamlessly with the rest of the website, including Drupal’s translation features.
