Forum revival

Groups with over 200 members will now be able to create separate chats within groups for discussions. For example, a channel for job offers can now create three different chats. Job offers in one channel, placing portfolios and self-presentations in the second channel, and holding conversations in the third channel.

Each topic thread will have its own notification settings and it will also support the standard tools: pools, bots, pinned messages, games, and so forth.

To activate a new topic, admins should go to the Group settings section, opt for the Permissions tab, and choose people who can create new topics.
