In the dictionary the word forum is described as a meeting or assembly for the open discussion of subjects of public interest. Ten years ago your first thought when you brought up the word forum might have been a Town Hall meeting, but with the Internet today, the younger generation would automatically think about a digital online forum.
There are forums on the internet for just about any topic you can think of. Go on to a search engine and type “dating forums,” or type “teaching forums,” and you are bound to find a few pages of results of forums that you can join.
Joining forums is beneficial because it gives people the opportunity to ask questions of other professionals, or just to kick around ideas with people who have similar interests.
You may be wondering why I, a plumbing professional, am talking about forums as it seems out of my realm of expertise, but it isn’t! Plumbing forums dot the web too, and I, as a professional, gain a lot from being a member of these forums, but average homeowners can also benefit from being a part of plumbing forums.
If you are a member of a plumbing forum, you can simply go online and ask questions about plumbing issues that are going on in your home, and you can get real answers from real plumbers within hours! Just make sure you sign up for the right plumbing sites. Some forums are for professionals only, and if you get on to those forums when you are not a plumbing professional, the other members will give you a hard time. But don’t worry, there are lots of forums online for homeowners who are just looking for a little help.
To get started with this process, just log onto the Internet, go to a search engine, and type in “plumbing forums.” Look through the list of results, and find a forum that sounds right to you. A good forum for you should we one that is not exclusively for professionals, and that looks like it has a good amount of activity. If a forum has not been posted on in the last few days, it is probably a dud. Read through some of the posts by other members, and if it seems like people are getting a lot of answers to their questions, then go ahead and sign up!
Start getting involved in forums, and you’ll be well educated on plumbing issues in no time.
