==Brief history== Discussion group was evolved from [[USENET]] which is a traced back to early 80's.<ref name="NewsDemon">{{cite web|title=Usenet Newsgroups: In The Beginning.....|url=http://www.newsdemon.com/history-of-usenet/beginning.php|website=NewsDemon|accessdate=27 October 2014}}</ref> Two [[computer scientist]]s [[USENET|Jim Ellis]] and [[USENET|Tom Truscott]] founded the idea of setting a system of rules to produce [[USENET|"articles"]], and then send back to their parallel [[news group]].<ref>{{cite web|title=History of Usenet - What is Usenet?|url=http://www.newsdemon.com/history-of-usenet/what_is_usenet.php|website=NewDemon|accessdate=27 October 2014}}</ref> Fundamentally, the form of discussion group was generated on the concept of [[USENET]], which emphasised ways of communication via [[USENET|email]] and [[USENET|web forums]]. Gradually, [[USENET]] had developed to be a system of channels which provide notifications and [[USENET|"articles"]] to meet general public's needs.<ref name="NewsDemon"/> Nowadays, [[World Wide Web]] gradually takes on the major role of supporting and extending platforms for discussion group on the [[Internet]] by setting up various [[USENET|web servers]].
