I think this is a great leap forward for Steemians. I'm no techie, but the way I understand this is it a forum based upon the Steem blockchain, which can be niche specific, with earnings tied to Steemit. Correct? My big question is this... do the same earnings rules apply? In other words, do forum posts and comments become stale after 7 days? I'm also guessing all forum members need to be Steemit account holders, correct? Thanks for providing me some easy answers.

Correct on all accounts.
I am interested in creating a forum, say for travel. This makes me the beneficiary? Once I create the forum, there can be sub-forums (say country specific) that I would also be the beneficiary of? This sounds like the forum creator is the one who cashes in, correct? I would like more specific information, ha, in laymans terms... if possible.
Gotta run, but will be back to check on more info. Thanks @jesta!
You could definitely create a forum for travel (named whatever) - and indeed if you did you'd be the beneficiary for that specific forum. From there it would be up to you to manage that community and foster it's growth, which would determine the rewards flowing through that community.
Keep in mind though, that only posts made through chainBB, and through that specific forum, are eligible for beneficiaries. The tags and topics aren't going to be what make or break a forum - it will be the community behind it and how it's built.
I also don't think that all the popular tags on Steemit are going to make a good forum. I think some of the best forums we'll see in the future are tags that have done absolutely terrible on Steemit (just because Steemit isn't designed for all content).
As for subforums - I'm not sure how the beneficiaries will work for that yet. I'll try to come up with a system that's fair.
Thanks, I'll be in contact.
