Larger Internet forums are in general more subject to public conflicts between users, catchphrases, and private jokes. Depending on the level of moderation there may also be conflicts between users and administrators.
Like other forms of online communication, Internet forums are home to many heated exchanges and rivalries. Often, administrators and moderators ask users to conform to netiquette; if they leave a forum unmoderated it may degenerate and become useless for discussion. Forums, however, can also become extremely addicting.
