fan forum

Devotee discussion space

A fan forum is an online discussion space where enthusiasts of a particular subject—a TV show, sports team, video game, band, or other cultural phenomenon—gather to share opinions, theories, news, and creative work.

Fan forums foster community among people with shared passions, though they can also breed intense disagreements: The fan forum exploded after the finale.
