<p>An Internet message board system includes a host site that hosts multiple message boards. The host site maintains statistics about an Internet user and processes the statistics to determine preferences of the Internet user and to suggest a message board that corresponds to the preferences of the Internet user. The Internet message board system can forward an Internet user from a first message board associated with a first website to a second message board associated with a second website. The processed user statistics include indicators such as profile and demographic information about the Internet user. Other processed user statistics are indicators associated with message boards in which the Internet user has participated, for example by reading or posting messages. To identify a message board that corresponds to the preferences of the Internet user, the user statistics are compared with indicators of the various message boards. The message board indicators include indicators that suggest a content of the corresponding message board.</p> |
