That’s why I said

What you are describing are many different situations. A common way of comparing a forum to a dinner party is this:

> [@Building a Discourse Community](https://meta.discourse.org/t/building-a-discourse-community/18364/1):

> Think of categories as rooms, topics as tables, replies as conversations.
