I'm sorry for this post

But I had a memeber ask me about one of my domains, after that he then asked me where I found buyers (I said NP`s), after I sent a Pm back to him he asked why his are not selling as he has many sent me a link and said look. After looking at the names he was offering I noticed he had most of his names as FORUMS, when I was selling Forum names;example ...mine CollectorForum.com compared to lets say his (not really) xboxFroums.com I stated that i think the Forum is a better name and that forums leave the door open for portal type sites, not a direct site like Forum (xboxForum.com), I would not buy CollectorForums.com and didnt when I could have. He Pms me back to say im wrong that I must not know that they are selling at the same price and value. Well I PMed him and said ok fine and sent him the recent carforum.com sale for 15,500 compared to his version of a forums, at $4400 and said they are not close. Does anybody agree that Forum is better then Forums?

If there is more than one "forum" then call it forum, if there are more "forums" then call it forums.

forum is best but I would also secure the forums version. What do you think about "talk" instead of "forum/forums?

Sorry, I made a mistake in my numbers. The relative popularity isn't affected, but the numbers are inflated by a little over 2x (counting name servers not names). A more accurate numbers of registered .coms are:

FORUM: 34,000
TALK: 16,000
FORUMS: 11,000

Personally I like “talk” as well, and would prefer it to “forum”, but the majority of people still clearly prefer “forum”. So if you're looking at resale value, forum is the way to go.

On the other hand this means there are probably 10,000 decent names out there to be had if you're willing to accept “Talk” instead of “Forum”. Might be worth making a list of talk names for with the forum is registered and digging through it for some gems.
