ciFORUM: offers enhanced functionality over other web forums because of its close integration with the other modules of ciSUITE:.

For example using the Advanced Grouping Technology of ciGROUPS:, discussion topics can be made available to all users, but discussion replies (posts) could be made available only to certain groups.

ciFORUM: can also be used as a blog (weblog), and content can be pushed to RSS feeds for continuous updating of third-party sites and search engines.
