    yes, but DP has a main site, and the forums are a sub part of that.

    no point using forums.domain.com if there is no content on domain.com

    domain.com/forums - if you're plannineg on setting up a main webpage later and want forums to get some PR power from the main domain. Remember to 301 redirect forums.domain.com to domain.com/forums ;)

    forums.domain.com - if you're planning on setting up a main webpage later and you don't really matter about PR.

    domain.com - if you just want forums and want them become your main webpage.
