What is the purpose of a forum?

After all the recent events, I am interested to know exactly what people think the purpose of this forum is?

I think it is a place for banter and fun and for people to express their views, but I also think it should be a welcoming place. People should be able to post on here without feeling that they are instantly going to be picked on and antagonised. We're all decent, intelligent people on here and we should act like it.
Often it is hilariously funny on here, but there are very few people who post on here regularly and unless we just want to be on here talking to ourselves, we need to be a bit more accepting of others.

That's what I think anyway.

I agree Am. I want this to be a fun place and somewhere to have serious discussions too. I really would like to encourage as many new memebrs as possible to join!

Yeah i agree too, now whats happened??
