I'd like to add a few things here, if I may
Looks good. Really good. But few things should be fixed.
Slide #4:Reverse the pyramid. Will make more sense.
Also the structure is not entirely correct. You are starting from people and ending with virtual object, such as a thread. Also "Post" goes after "Thread" because thread is higher, and it can contain 1..* posts.
I would say to change like this:
Staff Hierarchy:Administrator
Moderators
Respected members (?)
Users
Visitors
Forum hierarchy:Forum
Sub-forum
Thread
Post
Slide #5:Administrator IS a person <...>
Guess it would be sufficient enough to just say that Administrator has the control over whole website to every detail, such as database.
Slide #10:Not sure what did you want to say there
Slide #11:Admin can do much more than that.
Slide #13:IRC chatting is not part of a forum, if we are talking about forum itself, not the community.
Slide #14:Love the stick figure. And the internet
Slide #15:Kinda hard to understand
Slide #17:I'd say a blog is like a personal forum, if you turn it into it... guess your deffinition is also correct.
Slide #20:Lol at the picture. And I'd say to add "Building community". Main idea is to build a community in which people share knowledge and exchange information. It's like a club, but virtual.
Slide #21:- Any Operating System
- PHP 4 or 5
- SQL database
(it can run with other databases ya know, not just MySQL or Oracle)
Slide #22:You get what you pay for. Free hosting is shit unless you host it yourself. There is also paid forums, such as vBulletin.
