I agree that said I have been tussling with this. My issue is that I am building a niche community site that will feature, articles, blogs, podcasts, etc. The whole website will be branded as a community. Do you think it will be correct to still name the discourse subsection as ‘community’ rather than ‘forum’ given the fact the website will be branded as community?
Also, I was thinking about seo too and I know if I was doing a google search and wanted to look for a place where X people convey and discuss matters, I will type ‘forum for X’ rather than ‘community for X’ I might be over thinking it. But then again I over think everything haha
