Wll everyone I finaly found a forum host. Its called siteground and it uses phpbb. What I need help with is deciding what the url is going to be. I would prefer .com but .net if fine too. Its going to be a videogame forum so the url must reflect on that.

Personally, if the .com isn't available I don't register it.
Avoid domains with hyphens as well. Try and be original where possible.

Is it going to be a generic game forum or specific to a prticulr game/format?
Try some of the keyword search tools available on the net and see what people are searching for in your area and then see if those combos are being used (they usually are) but you can then adapt a varient on the theme...

Personally try and avoid domains such as www.$$FORUMTOPIC$$forums.com these are too generic and dont really create a site identity for yourself making alot harder for people to actually relate and find your forums unique and original.
