That's like asking if Coke or Pepsi is better...I don't think that there's a real answer...I've always preferred forums over forum but for no particular reason.

Whereas I usually use forum because I just don't think of adding an s to the end. Everyone will either have their own opinion or honestly never given it a thought.

That would be a good idea, to stop people from registering the other one.

If you could I would get both, If that is not an option I try and use "forum" and "forums" as keywords throughout the site. So that both keywords get spidered.

It really does effect the rankings for search. I rank higher for "forums" than I do for "forum". Most of my competition uses "forum". On a side note none of my competitiion uses "community" which brings in alot of SE traffic.

I always believe that forums is the best way to go, mainly because it describes the community better, becuse your forum is made of forums, not just a single forum.

I always go with forum, I never liked the ring of forums. I usually will buy both anyways and just have forums redirect to forum.

I think that buying both is a very good idea, as stated above it stops someone from trying to set up a competition site and stealing your name.

Well folks, thanks for all the replies.

I'm going to use forums, and forward forum & talk to the domain to cut out competition!
