A forum is something that you typically find within a community platform and sometimes in a social network (many different kinds of social networks ie twitter, facebook etc.).

A social network is usually open to the public with a pretty broad user base while a community is usually focused on a niche of some kind and usually a lot more active when well maintained as people form relationships based on the commonalities they share defined by the community.

An online community also called an internet community, is a virtual community whose members interact with each other primarily via the Internet.
