Why use a forum?

Advantages:

• Forums are a effective form of social media for in-depth discussions and sharing information.
  
• It will avoid your whatsapp being cluttered and you missing out on important study material in the rush hour.
  
• It will simplify the organizing of material and also allow juniors to easily access the required info by just typing keywords into search box or browsing relevant categories
  
• Ability to take votes
  
• Easy to keep track of topics unlike FB or whatsapp groups.
  
• Search functionality
  
• Away from other noisy platforms which will distract you
  
• Focused members who come here in the right mindset, unlike whatsapp groups which can be disturbing and can be reserved for live discussions on issues.
  
• Can handle a chaos for a huge group of people (The whole of IITI    )
  
• The upcoming batch finds it easier to get hold of required information because of good archiving practice.
  

Disadvantages:

• The learning curve if you are not familiar with forums
  
• A bit  more time consuming
