The text discusses the role of Internet forums as platforms for radical, extremist, and ideologically sensitive groups to communicate and propagate their agendas with minimal social restraint. Highlighting their utility in social science research, it outlines a practical guide for analyzing discursive data from such forums. This includes strategies for data sampling, refinement for computer-assisted analysis, and in-depth qualitative and quantitative examination. Two case studies are presented: an analysis of a German neo-Nazi discussion board and a comparative study of forums used by young German Muslims, discussing the advantages and challenges of this research method.
