## Forum Channels Release

#### Sep 14, 2022

Forum channels ([`GUILD_FORUM` or `15`](#DOCS_RESOURCES_CHANNEL/channel-object-channel-types)) have been released to all community servers. `GUILD_FORUM` channels are a new channel type that only supports threads, which display differently than in text (`GUILD_TEXT`) channels.

Check out the [forums topic](#DOCS_TOPICS_THREADS/forums) for more information on the relevant APIs and technical details, and the [Forums FAQ](https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/articles/6208479917079-Forum-Channels-FAQ#h_01G69FJQWTWN88HFEHK7Z6X79N) for more about the feature.

A `GUILD_FORUM` channel is very similar (from an API perspective) to a `GUILD_TEXT` channel, except only threads can be created in that channel; messages cannot be sent directly in that channel.

> More information about forum channels and how they appear in Discord can be found in the [Forum Channels FAQ](https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/articles/6208479917079-Forum-Channels-FAQ#h_01G69FJQWTWN88HFEHK7Z6X79N)

- Forums are a new channel type `15`.
- Forums do not allow messages to be sent in them. Endpoints like /channels/channel_id/messages will not work on a forum channel.
- Threads can be created in a forum channel. All threads in a forum are of type `PUBLIC_THREAD`. These threads and messages within the thread have the same gateway events as threads in a normal text channel.
