Yes, thank you for that, although like 1/10 people that you walk up to on the street would know what BBS stands for, although like 7/10 would know what a forum is. I believe that a .forums would make people more aware, you could say. I would never think when I need help on cooking to go on cooking.bbs I would think cooking.forums (forums about cooking) that is just a theory, if there was a .forums

I'm always open to new TLD ideas.

But just throwing this out there, there is currently a .bbs TLD already.... .bbs = bulletin board systems. The terms bulletin board/message board/forum are usually used interchangeably on the web. There is nothing that says we can't have both .forums and .bbs, but just wanted to bring that to your attention.

domain.forums

The domain .forums would make a forum more easily known. For example, there could be a boat.forums where members would talk about boats, or cars.forums where they would talk about cars. Think of all the possibilities of this domain. website.forums eating.forms A .forums domain would bring forth a new generation in internet forums.
