What exactly is the difference between a newsgroup and a forum? I looked in the dictionary and both seem to be the same thing....

The main difference between newsgroups and forums is that additional software, a newsreader, is required to participate in newsgroups. Visiting and participating in forums normally requires no additional software beyond the web browser.
