actually, i can't vote.. lol

words used by some of my clients:

community, fora, forum(s), board, discussion, threads, group, chat, place, talks, sharing, "/" ... (ok, that one is common)

Mine's "/" :).

i Put mine as the homepage I guess you could say.

The word "fora" is a piece of pretentious crap used by people who are trying to demonstrate their "intellectual superiority".

For the record, "forum" is now in the English dictionary and thus is an English word, and the correct ENGLISH plural of it is therefore "forums". This is confirmed by the OED.

"Fora" is still correct if you want to be pretentious and pretend you can speak Latin.

Ask yourself this....if you think "fora" is best, try making that your site's URL...www.yoursite.com/fora and see how many hits you actually get.

As regards the original poll, I prefer /forum/ but that's largely because that's how Jelsoft's sites are. I did previously use /forums/ and I think both are equally ok.

(I once got so annoyed with people saying "fora" on my site that for a bit of a joke we set a replacement variable to change it to forums)

None of them all.

Just the domain. :)

If you can speak latin fluently or even remotly more power to you, ive been taking it 5 years now and im still lost. Yikes.

The majority of the english language is based on latin. Forums or fora are both acceptable as the plural form of forum. Fora is also contained in the English dictionary and is acceptable to use. English is far from being the standard for which all other languages are judged.
