If you’re sure that you will never, ever want to have a web site with static data for your domain, I would use WWW for reasons described at [Ojktoto \> Ada Togel Online Terbaik Di Situs Toto Terpercaya](https://www.yes-www.org/why-use-www/).

If you ever want to set up [Straightforward direct-delivery incoming mail](https://meta.discourse.org/t/straightforward-direct-delivery-incoming-mail/49487), you’ll be very happy that you didn’t use the apex domain.

You can have your forum send from something other than the forum domain name, but you’ll need to edit the `app.yml` by hand and/or find some other way to change the `notification_email` address.
