Forum.hr is the largest and one of the oldest Croatian general-purpose internet forums. It was launched in 1999 by Željko Anderlon.[1] [2] It originated as a section of the website Monitor.hr, but was eventually singled out with its own domain in 2003.[3] As of August 2017, the forum has nearly 504,000 registered users with nearly 50 million messages.[2] The forum most frequently attracts highly educated individuals, between 18 and 35 of age.[3]
A 2009 forum thread Kad si jadna šupendara (When you're a miserable asshole) from the section Usamljena srca (Lonely hearts), where forum users told their love and romance experiences[4] gained over 3 million views with 10,000 messages and was subsequently adapted to theatre play titled "My nuclear love" in 2016. It premiered in Concert Hall Vatroslav Lisinski in Zagreb.[5] [6] [7]
With more than 2 million unique visitors per month in 2010, Forum.hr's impact was large enough to be depicted in the Randall Munroe's xkcd map of online communities.[8] [9]
