I think he meant newsgroups. Right?
Maybe your isp provides one. All the isps I've been with offered newsgroups with the monthly fee. *Edit: that you're paying anyway. Look up your isp on the net, and see if they offer newsgroups with your internet package. They'll tell you want the (url?) for the server is.*

The discussion takes the form of electronic messages called "postings" that anyone with a newsreader (standard with most browsers) can post or read.They are also used to trade pics and files of sorts using binary code.

So it's kind of like a forum? Or a big chat room?

Yah, newsgroups have been around since the late 70's or early 80's. You could think of the relationship as:

Forum is to news group as chatserver is to irc.
