Now that we've just created our first forum, let's think a little bit about how we want to name our forums and topics. Each forum in your group should be given a sufficiently general name with the idea being that it will be made up of a number of different topic threads that are all related to it. While the forum titles should be sufficiently general, the topic titles should all be specific and describe exactly what it is that will be spoken about.
For example, one Mahara site may have a group called "Olympics". A good forum title would be "Track and Field" because it is general and covers a wide topic. Then the "Track and Field" forum could have titles such as "Not enough funding for UK athletics" or "Which country is the best at track and field?" The topic subjects are more specific and targeted.
