Abstract

We investigate community structure and interaction dynamics in online discussion forums through the lens of quotes, examining four forums of different size, language, and topic. Quote usage appears to have an important role in aiding intra-thread navigation, uncovers a hidden social structure in communities otherwise lacking all explicit signals (from friends and followers to reputations) of today's online social networks, and can be used to fingerprint and characterize both individual users and entire communities.
