Forums handles the general blogging capabilities on Cobalt. This allows users to communicate with each other, to comment on posts and for clubs and other organisations to connect with their members and followers.

The codebase for Forums is relatively small and not too hard to understand by reading the code.

There are no external API calls for Forums.

Forums uses RBAC for security. See RBAC Application for more details.
