Caesar's meeting place
A forum is a place for public discussion or debate.
The original forums were open squares in Roman cities where citizens gathered to conduct business and politics.
Modern forums are typically online spaces where people post messages and respond to others' posts: I found the answer on a gardening forum.
A forum can also be any meeting or medium for open discussion: The town hall served as a forum for residents' concerns.
