While the above is true, all of these topics are related to domaining, so I think forum is better in this case. However, where the topics are different, as with the Irish boards.ie, I think the plural is better.

But I also think why not take both singular and plural if you can get them. Also, If one or other is gone I would check that it is not attached to an already established site. In this case I would not register the remaining one for development purposes, but only for reselling.
