These areas, known as Finite Space Arenas, are websites that allow no interaction between website and user. These would also include sites where users can leave messages, comments or E-mails, but there is no exchange of content or other information that could influence suitability of use.

These areas, known as Free Space Arenas, provide opportunities for users to engage in an interactive experience.
