With Website Builder, you can add a forum to your website to let visitors create discussions and post comments in discussion threads.
When you add a forum to your website, it counts toward the number of pages used in your Website Builder plan. For example, if your Website Builder plan includes 10 pages, when you add a forum to your site, you have 9 remaining pages to use when building your website.
