So, subdomains or folders?
I will have many forums and they will obviously be virtually identical, though each community will adapt for their own needs.
So, which is better and why?
www.townA.myforums.com
www.townB.myforums.com
www.townC.myforums.com
or
www.myforums.com/NY/townA
www.myforums.com/CA/townB
www.myforums.com/MA/townC
For branding purposes, myforums.com should be fairly visible. Beyond that I really can't conceive of the benefits of one over the other. What are your thoughts?
Thx! |
