The Wikipedia description of prior art states:
Prior art (state of the art[1] or background art[2]), in most systems of patent law,[3] constitutes all information that has been made available to the public in any form before a given date that might be relevant to a patent's claims of originality. If an invention has been described in the prior art, a patent on that invention is not valid.
Following that definition, it seems that simply describing your idea is detail on any public forum could allow you to claim prior art on any future patents similar to your idea as long as that forum still exists at the time of patent intention and the date could be validated.
Am I interpreting this correctly?
