    In my opinion, since forums.x10hosting.com redirects to x10hosting.com/forums, it's not worth it. Who knows what could happen if that happened...... broken links... bad sectors of the forums..... downtime.

    Why not just keep it like it is?

    E&E

    Fortunately, the change in name hasn't affected Google's indexing, so the forums are fully searchable.

    They're never useful.

    Oftentimes I'll turn to Google because the forum search fails me, such as when I need to search for a term of three or fewer letters. Note that it's still possible to use Google , the search just has to be more verbose. "site:x10hosting.com inurl:x10hosting.com/forums" rather than "site:forums.x10hosting.com". I'll probably just create a bookmarklet.

    If LadyAnna remembers correctly and the new URL is necessary for account panel, that takes precedence. But if the new URL structure doesn't offer any benefits, I'm still pulling for the old one, which has the one benefit.
    Be sure to read all pages linked in this post; they have further information that should prove useful. When asking for help, make sure you follow Eric Raymond's and Jon Skeet's guidelines for prompt, accurate responses. Please answer any questions I ask; they're not rhetorical (probably). Any posted code is intended as illustrative example, rather than a solution to your problem to be copied without alteration. Study it to learn how to write your own solution.
