    Which is better for a domain?

    Forum or Forums?

    For example...

    PetForum.com or PetForums.com?

    Better use forums, more people search with "forums" than" "forum"

    In my experience people type forums more than forum.

    DigitalPointForums
    WebTalkForums
    SiteTalKForums
    Windows-Forums

    Most of the main players tend to have forums rather than forum

    Use "forums" because people generally search using a plural keywords to get wide search results.

    I think it depends really on the name intended. Something like ProductionForums.com for example suits it more than ProductionForum.com but for a smaller forum where there will be less boards like golfing-forum.com might work better than golfing-forums.com.

    You should register both but develop the one with Forums and then just forward the one with Forum...

    Hi,

    In my view "forums" is having wider search.So it's better to use forums instead of "forum".
