Name suggestion...

[Khalid]

I am going to open a forum soon and will be investing considerably in it's design etc.

In your opinion, what name would you say is "better"...

talk(forum-topic-here).com

or

(forum-topic-here)forums.com

 

[theNOTO]

I would use forum just because people search for that and it is more intuitive.

 

[Andrew]

Personally I prefer to use neither. Obviously getting Topic.com can be a challenge and often impossible.. but if you can manage it then thats ideal.

Between forum and talk, I'd use talk.. but if the topic is really geeky/technical then go with forum.

 

[kyleirwin]

out of the two... the forum one. it's not a bad name, just could hinder you in the future if you try to expand the site from just being a forum.

 

[Payton]

between the two I prefer forum... I think more people would type this in for a search, might help a little

 

[WallaceCleaver]

I prefer the one with forum in it, because, well, if I'm searching for a forum I'll know that I've found what I'm looking for as soon as I see the title.

 

[John]

I prefer talk.

 

[CreationNation]

That's a toughie, and always a struggle. IF you can, get all three (talk, forum and forums) and only use one. I do this sometimes for mine so there's nobody tryingto ride on my coat tails.

 

[Charlie]

Do not internet savvy people understand the forum concept? On this basis, talk works well for non techy topics.

 

[Dave]

i like talk
but i usually like more original forum names (aka, Wickedfire )

What about "text-text-forum" as most people will probably type in whatever subject they look for then forum at the end.

That seems basically like what the OP was saying with his option of (forum-topic-here)forums.com
