Hi :)
Oh, i thought people only used the Latin(ish) endings as a joke.  As with Linux.

    Despite being a Latin word, the plural is neither "fora" nor
    "forii", but English-style "forums".

    Due to repeated (ab)use, the term "fora" will probably become
    accepted English within a few years.

    

    But until then, if used in manuals and documentation, please use
    "forums".
