Its got people who post questions about the course, essays shit like that. So if there is something someone needs to know about an essay,exam date,question whatever and they need to know asap they'll post up.

Also for our logic class we wern't given the answers to the weekly online questions so some of us would go on the forum and post up our answers after to see if we can work out the exact correct answer. Would help when studying for the last exam.

be funny if u get an alt on one of those boards

On the Griffith boards you can post anonymously, its just begging to be abused.

You can't post pictures though, much to my dismay.
