BB or Board?

CrazyTech · 01-21-2012, 03:58 PM

I'm looking at some domains for a forum - yes I know, they're not en-vogue anymore - and I'm wondering if I should go with ****bb.com or ****board.com?

The BB is nice because it obviously shortens the domain, but is board more explanatory?

Forum(s) is best, Talk is ok, Board is good, better than BB. Between Talk and Board, I'd probably choose Board.

BB belongs to the 90s. I wouldn't even consider it. The vast majority of internet users don't know it stands for bulletin board (a term that in itself is dead).

Forum and Board are becoming passé in an internet age where user communication on sites is just expected.

I think Talk is best since it leaves the site open for future expansion. Whereas Forum or Board are limiting.

BB stands for Bieber. Your site will be prone to denial of service attacks. I suggest you avoid using it.
