    If it is a discussion forum for visitors coming to a developed website then it should be on a subdomain.

    Like:

    forum.xyz.com

    forums.domain.com is the way I use it normally. Its simple, clear, easy to back up and move if you want.

    I like the plural (forums) more.
    As to subdirs and subdomains it depends on what type of sites you have. But, generally I'd go with a subdomain.

    Forum is a better choice. Forums gives an impression of generic and nothing specific kind of destination.
    I think forum will have more seriousness and more customers will come on it.

    I'm used to seeing FORUMS so in my opinion this one's better.

    Hello. They are both the same domain. I am fair of them in choosing domains. Thanks. :)

    I use: domain.com/forums and I have got good very results at search engine.

    I have many forum websites that are setup on the top level domain with out a sub directory.
