dynamic data without the need for a Database Engineer.
- Administrative/Publishing Functionality Provided - as with all Web Services offered by

to add, update and delete Forum Messages (Topics or Replies) using a WYSIWYG editor with
word processor-like formatting features.
- Retrieve Only What You Need - the Web Service's SOAP Methods return a specific Forum Topic with
its Replies, a specific Message (Topic or Reply), all the Forum Topics and all the Forum Messages;
"pagination" of the results on the server side is also provided. Pagination is the ability to
return a specific number of records at a time, similar to how search engines display results (i.e.
Google's 10 search results per page).
