Message boards info

[joycem10]

Can anyone direct me to a site which has information on internet message boards, their use and their development in the past decade?

Also, a couple of weeks ago someone posted a site which outlined a maxim dealing with the invocation of nazis ending any logical discussion on any subject (hoyle's law??). I anyone aware of any other "laws" or "rules" along the same vein?

The law you mean is Godwin's law. There is also a continuation that states that if you bring up the subject with the sole intention of ending the thead, it does not work. This is Quirke's exception.

This thread should probably be in Site Feedback.

There is also Webboard Mechanics, which has quite a few more laws.
