Modeling online opinion dynamics plays an important role toward in-depth comprehension of collective interactive behavior in modern human society and future digital society. Some statistical models based on network science or social networks have been known for years. In this paper, we propose a novel network model of online forums. Different from the existing models in which model selection is obscure, we accommodate reasoning in both mathematical and psychological contexts such that the basic parameters of the network model can be identified in an intuitive way. The proposed first-order-aging-with-fitness (FOAF) model extends from the well-known BA model, by adjusting weights for younger nodes, to better reflect the truth of Internet forums. We successfully verify the FOAF model and consequent entire social network model of wider applicability and better alignment with real online opinion data.
