What domain better serves and better represents the interest and purpose of the forum?

“[community.electricforum.com](http://community.electricforum.com)"  
or  
"[experts.communityforum.com](http://experts.communityforum.com)”

The main site as you know is [http://electricforum.com](http://electricforum.com) but unlike the current forum, our new forum will live in a subdomain of [electricforum.com](http://electricforum.com). There are several reasons behind this, not the least of which is a secure platform, backups, and redundancies.

So we have a choice…“community”…or “experts”.

I’m listening…

Experts limits participation - inhibits talented people put off by the word expert.

Our domain name will be: [http://community.electricforum.com](http://community.electricforum.com) as it stands now.
