Rhett Posted April 18, 2015 Posted April 18, 2015 Either one, it makes no difference, it's all preference. Mur, Ticaga, Makoto and 1 other 4
John 3:16 Posted April 18, 2015 Posted April 18, 2015 Keep in mind that a sub forum will require a SSL cert or a wildcard cert to cover it. If you are not using SSL then it's all preference with one big exception. The sub domain is seen a bit different for SEO, this is from a Moz article.5. Subdomains or Sub-folders Since search engines keep different metrics for domains than they do subdomains, it is recommended that webmasters place link-worthy content like blogs in subfolders rather than subdomains. (i.e. www.example.com/blog/ rather than blog.example.com) The notable exceptions to this are language-specific websites. (i.e., en.example.com for the English version of the website).http://moz.com/learn/seo/domainSimply something to think on. sobrenome 1
Ticaga Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 I prefer sites who use subdomains myself but I know mates who use the folder. sobrenome 1

Thanks. I prefer www.mysite.com/forums because the first part of the URL wouldn't change and this makes it look like it's part of the same website. A subdomain might be preferable if you're trying to distinguish a separation like for example if you want to make it look like the news on your website are from the official website and everything else on the forum is community led content.
Makoto Posted March 29, 2020 Posted March 29, 2020 Holy necro batman. My preference personally changes from time to time, but I generally prefer www.
