Forum or Forums

[CPInteract]

I am about to get myself a personal domain but can't decide whether to have "forum" or "forums" as part of the domain.


I've added a poll. Please do me a favor and tell me which you would choose and why.

I have put forum on mine simply becase i have forums as a test forum and I didn't want to remove them.

Forums!

Each section you have is a forum. Main Forum, Hack Forum, Art Forum, Beer Forum... whatever.

One board usually consists of multiple forums.

Having said that I just call mine 'bb' (short for Bulletin Board).

[Joe Page]

Go for forums :)

[N9ne]

How about FourumZ :D

[Erwin]

Don't forget the other plural for forum - fora. ;)

[CeleronXT]

Forum - A public meeting place for open discussion.

And thats what our boards are. There's only one. So it's forum.

[Odysseus]

Forums!

Works the other way, too:
I have multiple boards on my forum. :)

[Attrox]

Forums. For the same reason Zelda-King said. :)

Ok people say garden so why not say forum?

[MasterMac]

Forum! :D

[Joe]

Register both, then point the forums domain to the correct domain.

BTW, why not fora?

[Ogden2k]

Forums, but it's up to you. Either way works.

[qxh]

I voted Forums, simply because thats what I use ;)

[CeleronXT]

You have multiple categories in a forum.

Look, even vBulletin.com is "vBulletin Community Forum"

[filburt1]

in your opinion, what makes more sense or sounds better?

like in "my forums" or "my forum"

and forums.mysite.com or forum.mysite.com
A forum contains threads and other forums. Unless you have one forum at your site (for example, a single container for threads), you have forums or "fora", which sounds stupid :p

*cough* macfora *cough*

But then again, it's about macs.;):p

[tgillespie]

LOL, okay, there are the exceptions :D

[Stryker]

I say forum too because I've always had mine like that and I'd have to admit I was wrong if I say forums sounds better, and I'm never wrong. :D

[MGM]

I've always used forums

Although I might switch my url to board instead because it makes more sense

MGM out

[Floris]

I voted for forums.

[Chroder]

Forums :D They both work to me, but I look at each different "category" as a different forum within a "board", so it's plural in my eyes. (Fora just sounds like some sort of sea creature :p)

[Surrix]

Holy thread bump batman!

July 7th 2003 was the last post before the one made yesterday.

[TonyG]

Forums for the whole thing, forum for a specific forum inside your forums.

[Faruk]

if you use "forum(s)" as part of your domain name, go for forums. A domain with "forum" in it, and not "forums", may be mistaken to be a forum of different meaning, whereas "forums" is fairly inevitably a community.

However, I would still personally just register both and simply forward the "forum" domain to the "forums" domain. :)

[Floris]

I voted forums: just like i did here - http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=76816

[envy-uk]

I know it's not what you're looking for, but I tend to use community.

[M1th]

Community/Board -> Forums -> Threads -> Posts

[Lurk]

I prefer 'forum' because it is what the official vBulletin sites use, and i'm used to it more.

[kanezfan]

i have phoaroums on my website :D
