    I have two. I prefer .org and .net

    They sound the best, and not overused like .com domains.

    .com = commercial
    .info = information
    .org = organisation
    .net = network

    So personally, I prefer .net as I mainly create networks of some sorts, but .org can sometimes be good too :)

    .co.uk = commercial uk (I think) as I've seen others similar for other countries, but I think the days of .co.countrycode are slowing changing to just .countrycode

    I expect you know, I was pointing it out for any others as information, encase anyone did'nt know ;)

    I like .net or .com. .net would actually be the best for forums, as forums are technically networks, but sometimes sites sound better with a .com domain than a .net domain. It all depends on what you want the name of your site to be as to what domain you should get.
